Self Respect

[RescueMe]

The whole world we travel with our thoughts,
Finding nowhere anyone as precious as one's own self.
Since each and every person is so precious to themselves
Let the self-respecting harm no other being.
-the Samyutta Nikaya

"The whole world we travel with our thoughts..."
Sounds all too familiar, and yet comforting at the same time. Perhaps the realization of this post can only be truly appreciated when you come to the understanding that, through this level of self-awareness and appreciation of who you are, you can then truly know what it is to love another. And maybe, just maybe, if you can find others who live their lives and see the world in this way, then you have found family. Then it is time to be at peace with yourselves and the world. So that you can live your life for what is important, and not for what is keeping you from the important things.
Just a late-night rambling.
