You have to be careful about what you share on the internet. I'm talking about those pictures with a sentence inside them because you never know what kind of effect they will have on people. Let's talk about this when you take it in an extreme way, but be careful, there's a very fine line that you might cross and don't realize that you did it because who doesn't like loving yourself? Who?
Let’s take a look at the dictionary.
Love yourself firstly, love yourself too much and when you have loved enough then! And just then you can take care of another human being or animal or whatever... Oh, please, come on! You love yourself already! In fact, the human being loves himself more than all things! The human being is selfish by nature when he has high or low self-esteem.
Having high self-esteem makes you a proud person.
Having low self-esteem makes you a proud person.
That’s it. Now I’m going to explain you this.
High self-esteem
You love yourself more than your neighbour, therefore you put yourself in a high position and that makes you think that you’re better than anyone. Pride.
Low self-esteem.
You think that you’re in a lower position than everybody and maybe you think that you have to hang yourself because of your problems. You’re still a very proud person. You’re thinking about yourself and you’re not thinking about people you leave behind sorting your problems out, about people mourning you. You’re thinking just about you, your problems, your sorrow, your feelings, you, you, you, you. You’re still higher than everyone and even God.
1 Timothy 4:16
Keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching. Stay true to what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you.
Mathew 22:37:39.
You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself
God never told you: Love yourself first, he didn’t, because you love yourself already enough, no one has to tell you that you have to love yourself because you take care of yourself already. You have never stopped loving.
When you cast this message freely, you have to be precise and concrete, people could be harmed. Of course, you have to take care of yourself but you have to say, too, the side effect about that. You can’t toss those words without thinking what are you talking about because you cast just a half true, what about the other half? The side effect of being a very proud person; the side effect of turning you into a high person looking over your shoulder; the side effect of elbowing out other people who are in need but you’re looking at yourself first.
You’ll never be tired of loving yourself, the opposite, you will want more and more; you never get tired of being worship; you never get tired of getting plaudits. Actually, if time passes and you don’t receive something like this, you think you need is and start to reclaim one way or another.
Whether you start to fill yourself about yourself, what is what you acquire? What could you achieve from an imperfect person? Mistakes, errors, and fault among other things. Would you build any car with imperfect pieces? No, you wouldn't. The model of my life is the only one who never made a mistake, who is perfect in any way, who was arrested without any fault.
So, You have to be careful about what you share on the internet. I'm talking about those pictures with a sentence inside them because you never know what kind of effect they will have on people.
What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy—full of greed and self-indulgence!
Matthew 23:25
Yeah, you are right. Posting selfish images is trendy nowadays. I'm a little tired too about those kind of sentences and affirmations. People is stressed, people is slave of technology, people is desperate because we live in a world where problems are not detected and treated. What do they do? They try to find solutions in the wrong ways. They think that they need to love even more themselves, to have more things, to have more parties... And they are falling in an endless spiral.
ReplyDeleteSelfishness is not the answer. But everyone is always selling that you have to think more of you, you have to give you more things... And we are forgetting the rest of the world.
Thanks for making us to think!
