>>3866225It's not about outright hating yourself though. But it is true that all self-improvement stems from if not a hate, a discomfort, or dissatisfaction with something about yourself. You can't escape that.
I'm also clearly not advocating taking everything in religious texts literally.
>>3866361A lot of it will fall on deaf ears, but maybe some of it won't. I know that there's definitely more people primed to hear about religion with how fucked up and divisive the world is now, with secularism on the rise.
It's not really my intent to force religion on anyone either. Maybe some of this is just me working out my own thoughts on it too. I think maybe some other people are working it out for themselves right now.
