The real art of discovery consists not on finding new land but in seeing it with New eyes.

The Androgin Story

While searching for ourselves in everything that surrounds us, we have two alternatives of percieving things. One-we can choose to have an highly critical and overanalyzing approach towards ourselves. The consequence of this, is that while looking outside, at the others, you're also gonna find just a frightening mirror of yourself, a mere reflection of all your faults.
Therefore,the first natural impluse is to be oppositional and sceptic towards others.

The second option we have, is to actually like what we see inside ourselves...to find a particular beauty...and to like it so much that you fall in love with it. And so a mystical moment occurs, when people find their second half and start behaving as a WHOLE. The effect on others is obvious, you start loving the YOU in THEM.

Up until now, I have been living under the impression that loving yourself is wrong, as it means you are a ego-centric and selfish person... now ...I come to realize that it is the best thing that can happen to humankind.

So how do you know if you love you know yourself? Basically, loving yourself means listening to your inner whispery voice and constantly finding time to answer to it.

I guess that sometimes while being in AIESEC you come to think that others needs are more important than your owns, but that isn't true. You are THE priority of your life.

The only P.S to this love letter for human beings, is that you have to able to accept the justiceness of this rule for EVERYBODY. Yes, as applying to all of us.

So the paradox of life within a society is that parallel lines (the ego-centered paths of individuals) cross each other, at the point of ultimate narcisism and come to interpreted as acts of altruism.
