Summary
This quote suggests that our innate self-love often obscures or hides our own flaws and shortcomings from our view. It implies that our tendency to prioritize and protect our self-image can prevent us from acknowledging or accepting our imperfections. The "thick veil" symbolizes the barrier created by our self-love, which hinders self-awareness and can prevent personal growth. In order to actively address our faults, we must be willing to look beyond this veil of self-love and confront the areas in which we can improve.
