"自分自身を愛さない人を信じていません"
— Maya Angelou
Simplified Meaning:
When someone doesn't love themselves, it's hard for them to truly care about others. If a person isn't kind to themselves, they might struggle to be kind and trustworthy around other people. Think about a time when you met someone who always put themselves down and didn’t believe they were good enough. Because they felt this way, they might act jealous, self-centered, or be quick to hurt others. Take the example of someone who's always criticizing their own work. They might not be able to see the good in what others do, either, and could struggle with giving genuine compliments or support. On the other hand, when someone loves and respects themselves, they're more likely to treat others with the same kindness and respect. So, if you want healthy and trusting relationships, it's important to start with self-love and understanding. When people love themselves, they're generally happier, more positive, and easier to get along with, leading to stronger and more supportive connections.
