Others are a mirror for you, and you are a mirror for others. The emotions that you harbor for others are emotions that others harbor for you, and people subconsciously perceive these feelings keenly. If the principles for various forms of communication have materialized based on the rules of this mirror, perhaps it could be said that the act of loving others is a transformation of self-love. In order to love others, you must first love yourself and forgive even your unlovable self. The love that can be found beyond this agony itself is the gift that has been given to every single person. That is because each of us was born as an omniscient being.
他者は自分の鏡であり、自分は他者の鏡です。自分が相手に抱いている感情は、相手が自分に対し抱いている感情であり、人間は無意識下で鋭敏にそれらを感じ取っています。あらゆるコミュニケーションの在り方が、この鏡の法則の上に成り立っているとするならば、他者を愛することは即ち、自己愛の變形であると言えるかもしれません。他者を愛するにはまず自分自身を愛し、愛せない自分自身をも赦さなければならず、その苦悩の果てにある愛こそが、全ての人々に与えられたギフトなのです。私たちは皆、生まれながらに全知の存在であったのですから。
