Loving Ourselves Through Loving Others

Question: What are some tips for improving self perception? How can I learn to love myself?

Answer: By default our perception of reality is completely egocentric, subjective. We are locked into a dark, limited cocoon where we sense only what our “personal computer” deems necessary for a simple, instinctive, day to day survival. Our own image we perceive is also distorted, fitting into the egoistic, subjective world we create.

Improving perception means acquiring the ability to look at the world and ourselves objectively, above the inherently egoistic, subjective constraints. This means escaping our selves by escaping into, unconditionally loving, serving others.

By focusing on this unconditional love and service of others we become similar to Nature’s fundamental, life giving force, principle, becoming the best, “truly Human” version of ourselves. That gives us all the reasons, the full right to start loving ourselves. Only by unconditionally loving others can we truly come to love ourselves without shame, restraints.
