I must be able to love myself
People value their own pleasure more than another person's life.
It is natural for people to prioritize their own interests above the lives of others.
Since they believe their body is their whole being, the comfort and benefit of their own body become the most important things.
And so, people wander, searching for someone who will cherish them above all else.
From birth to death, people form countless relationships seeking others to rely on, searching endlessly for someone who can fulfill their needs only to eventually fade away.
Human relationships endure peacefully as long as both parties benefit equally.
However, when an imbalance arises, a gap forms in their hearts, widening over time until what was once a cherished bond turns into enmity.
This is the fate given to people.
But this fate can be overcome.
Yet, instead of facing this, people continue hoping that someday they will find the perfect person who doesn't exist.
Rather than searching for someone who isn't there, I should find myself.
I lost myself, and I looked to others to find the true love I needed.
Now, it's time to find it within.
The way is here now.
I need to change.
I must discard the "me" who is tainted with self-centered thoughts and emotions.
I need to let go of the life I lived as though my body were my whole existence.
