To love oneself in the right way and to love one’s neighbour are at bottom one and the same. When selfishness has been taken from you, then you have learned to love yourself rightly. When a man in self torment thinks to do God a service by torturing himself, what is his sin except this, of not willing to love himself in the right way?
– Soren Kierkegaard
……..
There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.
