“There is a wrong way of staying in the world and a wrong way of fleeing from it. In both cases we are fashioning ourselves according to the world.”
“In this world there is no absolute wrong. Wrong and right are made by people according to one’s own taste”
“But if we love ourselves in the wrong way, we become incapable of loving anybody else. And indeed when we love ourselves wrongly we hate ourselves; if we hate ourselves we cannot help hating others.”
“Pain is not wrong. Reacting to pain as wrong initiates the trance of unworthiness. The moment we believe something is wrong, our world shrinks and we lose ourselves in the effort to combat the pain.”
“Why is it that we are constantly proving the world wrong but never proving ourselves right?”
“We all know there is something wrong with our culture, the state of our world, and with ourselves.”
