Learning to live with ourselves.

It's true.

Jesus Christ himself said we must learn to love ourselves otherwise we will not know how to love others. and it is true you must care for you, be good to you so you know how' to be good to others and care for others. we have to learn to live and like and love ourselves then we can love others 'as we do ourselves.

Yes I totally agree, if you can't live with yourself how do you expect other People to live with you or around you so it certainly makes sense to me

This thought is true. Without loving oneself it is hard to love others. We have to appreciate ourselves and respect ourselves first. Speaking about this, I have a confession to make. I admit that I have depression, and that I find it difficult to love myself. But I try the hardest I can to cope with the situation and try to be myself. I don't want to be somebody else, because it will torture my mind even more. Being true your my own self makes me learn how to be honest to myself and not to abuse and hurt my own feelings. All this is the positive results which I get from learning the tools provided in a website which I found lately. At first I just did the Cognitive Behavioural Test, and then I was directed to another site which asked me questions pertinent to depression. There are also exercises provided, which make me realize that life is full of mysteries and it is a pity if I don't explore it. No matter how depressed I am, I should grab this opportunity because life only comes once and everyone has the right to enjoy the luxuries of life. Learning this, I want to forget or ignore my depression as best as I can and try to do everything which I haven't done in a long time due to being depressed and anxious.

Don't you think this is the goal of human life? After all when we learn to live and love ourself we will understand that in the greatest sense we are all one energy and will not longer wish or need to harm each other.
