We never get to love by hate, least of all by self-hatred.

We never get to love by hate, least of all by self-hatred.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that hate, and especially self-hatred, cannot lead to love. Love cannot be built upon a foundation of negativity and self-destructive emotions. True love requires compassion, understanding, and self-acceptance. To cultivate love, we must let go of hate and embrace self-love, as well as acceptance of others, fostering an environment of empathy and kindness. By rejecting hate and self-hatred, we create space for love to flourish and thrive.

I was lucky enough to see with my own eyes the recent stock-market crash, where they lost several million dollars, a rabble of dead money that went sliding off into the sea. Never as then, amid suicides, hysteria, and groups of fainting people, have I felt the sensation of real death, death without hope, death that is nothing but rottenness, for the spectacle was terrifying but devoid of greatness... I felt something like a divine urge to bombard that whole canyon of shadow, where ambulances collected suicides whose hands were full of rings.
