Oh come on Seer, you have a horn that you like to toot on occasion, it's good for the soul, expression of your love for yourself isn't something to be ashamed of.

You don't agree that when someone finally accepts themselves in love that they find disconnections all around them? It happens all the time, earlier today Septs recollection of his experience of self betterment and it's effects on relationships is just a more recent example. And love of self first and foremost is always worth a short term sacrifice in humility. There's no shame in wanting to be better but sometimes it IS hurtful when people we've become close to don't progress in a synchronized way. From both perspectives, not just the left behind.

There are people here who've pushed my buttons over time in hardcore ways but I eventually realized they're really just looking for the same things all of us are, people who we identify with at our level who can actively spark off that synergy it takes to get that wheel to spin.

And sometimes it's good to get under eachothers skin, reminds us there's still things to fight for in this world. Which can't be so bad...lol
