Overcoming Identity
Today I realized the difference between being egocentric and loving yourself. The important difference is, that if you’re an egocentric individual you seem to ignore, or push away the flaws that your personality includes, which will eventually lead to you, hurting the ones you hold dearly the most.
If you want to love yourself, you have to accept your own ugliness, realize you’re flawed, and start to see the positive pole of what you’ve sought out as part of your shadow. Only then, after you stopped dragging these parts of yourself around as burden, but carrying them as a tool to improve the life of others, you will be truly able to love.
