I was watching this youtube video. It was about a lady with a history

and that had 2 divorces acquire a healthy attitude to life by using a few

simple principles. The main theme being that you go to love yourself.

 

It seem too easy and simple. What do you guys think

Self-knowledge is a requisite for happiness and virtuous love. Self-love is a requisite for protecting yourself from external emotional and psychological harm.

 

At 3:07, she says that people are whole right now. I think this is inaccurate. Self-knowledge is a journey with no end because you haven't ended yet.

 

At 4:19, she says that both of her parents had hearts of gold. I must reject this as that particular phrase has special meaning to me and should not be handed out lightly. Her father spending her whole life in prison is NOT a heart of gold. This is pretty important since the underlying premise is self-knowledge, which begins with calling things by their proper names. You will not be able to know/love yourself if you have an inaccurate understanding of where you've come from.

 

I didn't watch too much beyond that. I hope this was helpful input.

Per 3:07:  Sort of like saying "you have a complete car" when actually what we may have is all the car parts, but some might not be assembled.  I'd be cautious about driving a car very fast that doesn't quite have all it's steering parts installed.

 

Per 4:19:  "...after his most recent (prison) sentence..."  

:confused: 

I guess it polishes his gold heart to keep going back.
