-------
"If we can accept ourselves, seeing who we really are, it’ll be easy for us to accept other people and see who they really are. But if we cannot accept ourselves, we will not be able to accept other people. Many of us find ourselves hard to accept. We have the complex of inferiority. We get angry with ourselves. When we cannot accept ourselves, how can we accept other people? And if we can’t learn to accept each other, we can’t live in harmony and happiness with each other."
