Can we change ourselves?
We are born as empty vessels, and over time, we are filled with qualities by others. At some point, we begin to focus more on the external world, noticing qualities in other people that we admire. Over time, we realize that we lack these qualities or that they are not developed enough in us, but we accept this. Then this feeling accumulates, grows stronger, and we begin to dislike ourselves. We try to change ourselves. It’s good when these changes are small and insignificant. But sometimes, we want to change a large part of ourselves. Is this possible? Or should we simply accept ourselves and love ourselves for who we have become?
