DO YOU LOVE YOU?
By George L. Coleman, Author – TO HELL WITH HELL- Starvation And The Church
Do you love yourself? If you don’t, then you don’t love me either. Because it has been accepted at all levels of Psychologist and Psychiatrists, whose training is studying and understanding how we humans think and respond to thoughts and feelings. I can accept it or reject it. . On the issue of Loving Yourself, I’m in total agreement with their findings because I have experienced both sides of that equation. Love can be described and defined in many ways I’m sure, but the love I’m referring to is the love that one feels for another human being as well as themselves. Love can mean many things to different people so I will define the love that I’m talking about. The love I have accepted for myself and others involves respect, forgiveness, selflessness, totally accepting yourself and others for who they are this moment of time without dragging up old bones and situations. Who I am today is a result of all my yesterdays, without which I wouldn’t have a clue about me today. Without regard to why, it’s peaceful to accept yourself and others as being important as to you and others this moment. Yes, yesterday is involved and has helped form today, but is not identified solely by one’s past adventures and endeavors. Only when you accept yourself as being a creation of divinity can you expect to accept others and be at peace within yourself. There’s no other greater feeling than inner peace, which is obtainable and certainly recommended as a way of life and thinking. As you think, you are. That’s not my coined phrase but is one that I believe to be an invitation for thought. Check it out for yourself. Stop to think what YOU think about most, and it’s very likely you’ll discover the truth of that statement. Therefore; if you want to be loved -love. When you think love – you’ll most likely be in a state of mind that love can not only survive but thrive. It’s all in your head. Whatever you want to think, you do. Do you want to change the way you think? Then just do it. This is probably the most simple and interesting method of changing one’s life. You can do it and I know because I’ve done it myself. You can love yourself so that you can love others or you can fail to love yourself and thereby you CANNOT love others. YES. IT’S THAT SIMPLE. I have found that simplicity without judgment is the very core of having inner peace.

In a word, yes. I love me tons.


Given that your post was so long I am only responding to the title and so refuse to be held accountable for any content that makes my "yes" in any way untrue.

I see by the two posts of yours that I have seen this evening that you are a man of many words and believe me that is desirable to the opposite. But hey, it is a holiday end here and maybe we just can't read this much at this time.

You seem like a good man with things/thoughts to share...this is only me but perhaps shorter might be better.

Some of us know each other here and will read a long post by a friend but by and large....keep it simple, not stupid, just simple - we jump from conversation to conversation...

Please mind this is only my own advise!!

Good luck and just lighten up a tad and have some fun!

I disagree but that is b/c there are some that love the wrong person... I agree that you can't truly know how to love another until you love yourself but there are far to many other things that go on in the every day to drill it down to a simple statement of "do this like I did and you'll have what you desire"...

What I get from what your referring to is as simple as Love yourself then you can reach out and love others?...I agree with this statement, because it all comes from within you...:)

Good post. I am a fan of inner peace. Sometimes its venting that brings it but thats okay because I like peace. And why waste all that love on another if they don't return it when you can give it to someone who can truly appreciate like yourself.

yes i love the person inside me, not as keen on the outside but that is only superficial ( cant spell that silly word.) but i really like who i am inside me
