when in reality it is the opposite.

as well as or faults with neutrality,
we can start to appreciate ourselves
as we would a dear friend
and experience the comfortable inner glow of respect.

Spurring ourselves on to become better human beings,
we develop true regard for ourselves,
and our life will become sacred.

to grant ourselves freedom from the past.
