Buddha Speaks - Compassion For Your Self

 

I was reading that there are three types of love.  They are sexual love, interpersonal love, and compassion.  Compassion is the ultimate love because it includes everyone, even one’s self. 

I was thinking that not many people know how to love themselves or to have compassion for themselves.  It is something  that we struggle with because we have been told so many times by so many people that we are not worthy. 

I was wondering why we believe those words when there are so many words that we do not believe.  We have learned that the media does not tell the whole truth most of the time.  We have found that our politicians do not tell us the truth.  Even our parents lied to us most of the time when we were young.  We are conditioned not to believe. 

Namaste.
