Where there is hatred let me sow love.

Amazing is the power of antilove, this hydra that we call hatred.

It begins by malnutritioning and dismantling the core of its carrier, it goes around the world, spreading its miasma and multiplying within many lives, making living a bitter experience.

The hateful individual, compared to those around him, is someone who finds himself drenched by the same hatred that he boils.

It's someone who hates himself, and that therefore falls sick.

So if we want to eradicate hatred from the world, the first place to treat it is within ourselves.

All hatred actions that we see around the world, causing casualties, causing pain and anger, have their roots in the depths of the sick human.

It is the self-hatred that must be addressed.

Hatred of oneself is the greatest tragedy of the human mind.

The exaggerated perfectionism, which penalizes its carrier when it does not achieve the desired results, is a manifestation of self-hatred.

Failures should serve as encouragement to get it right the next time and not the reason of self-inflicted disappointment with oneself.

Those who hate themselves head for the end without ceremony, be it the end of health, joy, peace, family, friends, and life.

One adheres to vices that are difficult to eradicate and can not justify abandoning them, declining to make minimal efforts to do so.

Those who hate themselves seal everything one does with negativity, complicating what could be simpler.

So one must stop everything and cultivate its opposite: self-love.

When Francis of Assisi presented the proposal Where there is hatred let me sow love, he referred not only to exterior hatred.

He knew very well when he placed himself as an instrument of peace that the greatest enemies of men are in their intimacy.

Therefore, to love yourself is to save the world.

To love yourself makes you want to learn to be useful; it causes work to progress.

To love yourself is in forgiving yourself, which prevents us from carrying harmful sorrow and anger in the heart.

To love yourself is to preserve yourself from vices and excesses.

It is to take care of your body without exaggeration and also take care of your soul, your mind; what you read, watch, and talk.

To love yourself is far from being this silly infatuation, very well represented by the mythical figure of Narcissus, which prevented him from thinking about anything beyond his own image.

To love yourself is a mature love, which allows us to know who we are, our potential, our value. Let us recognize our shortcomings, but let us not be frightened or paralyzed by them. Let us give ourselves another chance with joy, always keeping in mind that our destiny as Immortal Spirits will always be happiness.
