Can I Love Myself?
Of course!
As sentient beings, we all have failings, obscurations, peculiarities. These cause us chaos and confusion, and therefore, from an absolute point of view, there is suffering because we are distracted. At the same time, we go on to cause chaos, confusion and suffering for others!
However, recognising this chaos, confusion and suffering is our path to enlightenment: we built these illusory barricades, so it is we who have to recognise the illusion. Seeing the problem is everything.
Love it! There is no other way.
So we may come to the conclusion that we are not as nice as we think. This is not only a temporary state: it is a spontaneous recognition where guilt and blame are irrelevant.
Love it! There is no other way.
