Self-hatred does no good

Self-hatred is not a righteous humility—far from it. It seeks to destroy everything right and beautiful and human. The final outcomes of self-hatred are sickness, suicide and murder.

The world does not become any brighter with the spread of depression and self-loathing—no matter how justified. One must learn to love one's self—faults included—and stop the war within before any positive change can take place.

Once forgiveness and love have been granted to one's self—only then can it expand outward to others. Everything starts in the heart.
