Disclaimer – Not Mine Only Notes
I have to stress that these words are my notes only. The
thoughts and understanding behind them do not come from me but from the
terrific missionaries that lead the various activities during the retreat.
How and Why Self-Love is Subjective
Self-love is really subjective.
Why?
It is subjective for the following reason.
With self-love we feel ok with ourself when others are ok
with us. We on the flip side don't feel ok with ourselves when others are not
ok with, such as being angry or upset with us.
We also can feel ok with ourselves when others are ok with
us, but we know that we, in a certain area of our life are doing something
wrong, yet because others are ok with us, we are ok with ourselves, but really
we should not be ok with ourselves because we are doing something wrong and we
should work to correct that. But we don’t because others are ok with us.
Final Comments
When we take that function of loving ourself or loving our
Being or feeling ok or at ease with ourselves from relativity, that is take it
from making ourselves dependent on others to feel happy we begin to make that
function within us much more objective, because we will feel happy when there
is reason and no reason (there are always good reasons to feel happy with
ourselves) for us to feel happy and well with others. If we are doing something
wrong or are in a wrong state of mind, the real self-love will make us to work
on ourself to correct that, even if others are perfectly fine with us.
End (626).
