Time to meditate , take a mirror and tell yourself "I love you"


It’s not that simple.


Being a Jedi is not simple , it begins with self love , if you dont love yourself , how can you love others? A Jedi takes care of himself , aware that when he loves himself he will not be trapped in self pity when others dont love him.

You are worth it ....

Says who? I consider myself part of the Force - and the same goes for everyone and everything in the Universe. As we are all one in the Force, loving others is the same as loving oneself. There’s no need to direct love at myself as others will not benefit from that directly. Of course I look after myself as I can’t be of service if I’m not well.

That’s said I’m sure it doesn’t harm to spend time asserting self-love but I hardly consider it essential.

I disagree , i cannot give what i dont have , as floating and penetrating as the Force is , if i block an essential part of myself off to myself , how can i reveal it to others ? I am not saying you are wrong , i just see it differently :lol:

I find that loving others gives me joy, and I’d argue that yes, I can have love for others even though I don’t necessarily cultivate it for myself (and no, I don’t hate myself :-)

This isn't the movies, society craves destruction, the majority of people growing up today are not taught the value of self compassion, why would it? It thrives on chaos, disempowerment and tearing down of the individual. Self compassion is the hardest lesson to learn in this life, and the individual who has learned it sets an example that taking care of the self first should be a priority. I hope you learn it before the next incarnation Peter...
