Ah Pete, I don't see you as a tough nut to crack. I also don't see you as old, aren't we near the same age, lol. I was just wondering if you could relate this poem to that post you recently made about your son?
I relate this poem to something a professor once told me; he said if you truly believe you are unique and different then you will have high self-esteem. Because there are no two people on this earth alike in every way, we all bring something unique and special to any situation. We have that to contribute to our part of this world.
Mmmm....Jason, I'm a prickly, cynical old Englishman and I tend to find quotations like this a bit simplistic, a bit cloying. And to me the first sentence raises a huge question - how, how, how does a depressed person fall in love with themselves? My experience of depression has been that of a long falling 'in hate' with myself, and an ever-deepening conviction that there is little there in myself to love, or that deserves love....
But all this is just me. More power to those who find inspirational sayings to be more than pretty slogans - if something helps, I won't knock it.
Sorry, Jason, it seems all I've done since you arrived here is contradict your posts. I'm not really that bad a guy just a bit of a tough nut to crack.
"As you fall in love with yourself, you naturally get healthier. All the do’s and don’ts of health education can only build a house of straw unless love is the foundation. When you see love in operation in a relationship, you see trust, acceptance of the uniqueness of each person, understanding of differences, and forgiveness of failing."
