Care of the Self

We treat others the way we treat ourselves.

Perhaps, the focus can shift from

“don’t treat others the way you wouldn’t want to be treated yourself” to

“don’t treat yourself the way you wouldn’t treat others”.

Maybe, the care of the self, learning how to do that better, and by that I mean going towards the opposite direction of the negative connotations we have assigned to the word ‘selfishness’, maybe, that care of the self would translate into better care of the other.
