An answer to this...


In reference to

Originally "I feel like I've created a monster."

You did not create it! It was there before we both were born. Just ask you this thing: What would you do if any man, here or outside, ask you to be married.

If I asked you "marry me" you would be afraid of me (or I´d be utterly rejected by you) for whatever reason you or your family thinks it fits, because it isn´t easy to step up, even to simply love each person as she or he is.

So you are not guilty, it is our fears, our decisions, those we fear to go any further to surely love, risking our lives to keep the person we chose to love.


What if a person largely lacked self-acceptance his/her whole life? 

Will he (or she) be attained to any religion to "believe" he/she is worthy of love, just by thinking "God and Jesus loved me first"?

That´s is where MANY have used their religions (even Christianity) to cope with an idol no one is willing to deny or admit publicly.

If I can´t love me, as I am, it will hard to love others, the way they might be, too.

Mat 22:39 The second most important commandment is like this one. And it is, "Love others as much as you love yourself." 

This is where many of us fall short.

Such is the idolatry of the self, the “hidden” idol we surely have missed and kicked off when neglecting and despising us came to happen, as well as hurting those we´ve left alone.
