It is true that if you hate yourself, no one is going to love you. Also, a person who cannot love him or herself, cannot love anyone else either.. . But know this, every child is born with tremendous love for himself. It is the society, the parents, the environment in which they are born that destroy that love. The child’s love for him or herself has to be distracted. He or she have to be conditioned so that their love is always towards an object outside himself, which is never true love.. . But learning to love oneself is not difficult, it is natural. If you have been able to do something which is unnatural, if you have learned how to hate others without loving yourself, then the other thing is very simple. You have done the almost impossible. It is only a question of understanding, a simple understanding, that “I am to love myself; otherwise I will miss the meaning of life. I will never grow up, I will simply grow old. I will not have any individuality. I will not be truly human, dignified, integrated.”. . Your first responsibility is towards yourself. And just see: if everybody is loving themselves, caring about themselves, their intelligence will come to its peak, their love will be overflowing. You will have so much to share, so much to give, that giving will become a joy to you, that sharing will be a celebration to you. Altruism can only be a by-product of self-love. Because you don’t love yourself, you feel weak — because love is nourishment, it is your strength.. . But in order to love yourself, first you have to know yourself. You have to look deep into yourself, and only then you will be able to discover the treasures within. When that happens, when you can look within and feel the source of your life and beauty and love, everything on the outside will not even matter anymore. To look inside yourself, you need to learn to meditate, because that is the only way to enter deep into your being. Once you do that, no effort is required, love will naturally arise from within.. . If you would like to learn to meditate, it can be a little difficult for beginners, but once you get the knack of it, you are in for a great surprise. It can transform you. It has been scientifically proven to increase happiness, compassion and awareness. It will make you clear thinking, lucid, calm and loving. You will be again innocent and pure. In other words, you will be yourself again.. . Email me if you are interested of learning more about how to meditate and where to start. I will be more than happy to help you and share the love that I have already found inside
