"The fact that someone else loves
you doesn't rescue you from the project of loving yourself,"
writes blogger Sahaj Kohli. Nothing else rescues you from that
quest, either, I would add. Sooner or later, whether it's now or
20 years in the future, you will have to master this fine art. It's
not enough to merely feel affection for yourself; not enough to
seek pleasure and avoid pain. You've got to make extensive
investigations to discover what it means to love yourself; you
have to develop rigorous plans for how to accomplish it; and
you must fire up a deep commitment as you actually carry out
those plans. By the way, the coming weeks will be an excellent
time to work on mastering this fine art.
