Whoever said Anime doesnt give us wisdom?
The Eternal debate on how to love oneself can be seen displayed in these two series, and yet the question still remains...
To love ones self, does someone need to love you first? Or do you have to learn to love yourself without others before you can be accepted and loved?
And how does one learn to love themselves, if all they see are the bad qualities they possess, because the good qualities are hidden and unable to be seen, like an Umeboshi on the back of a rice ball?
In a world of only one, they is a world of nothing. And with nothing to distinguish one thing from the next, a world of complete isolation is to destroy the self.
We need to have another to understand our own self, to be able to compare and see differences in ourselves to what there are in others, to understand our own form and mind. Others help us to see ourselves for what we are.
But others beleive that one can never love themselves unless someone else accepts them first. When someone says "I like you for who you are." Only then you can begin to question yourself about why it is that person likes you, and as you begin to see yourself through their eyes, you may find there really are reasons to love who you are , to forgive and like yourself and be comfortable in your own skin.
I've made a promise to myself that I wont be controlled by my fear. Even if it does nothing but hurt me. I want to know... I want to feel.
I made a promise to myself long ago, that the second I knew I was in love, I would tell them, regardless of the situation, regardless of if they would love me in return, because I would be content in simply knowing that I loved someone.
There is one to whom I feel I can risk this feeling. One who reads both my mind and soul. But I cannot tell him the words I so desperately want to say, because I do not yet love myself, and so I know i can never fully love another, or accept the love of another. And it pains me that the only one responsible for this barrier, is me.
So I will learn to love who I am. And the moment I do... I'll let you know.
