Reflections on self-kindness and logic as paths to healing

I know how good it feels when you give advice and when it helps a person and when you feel like a good person because you helped.

I don't want to use this trend because I hate it overall but I will use it as an item here because you feel like your aura has been added in the sense that your game points have been added and you have a new score.

Seeing people happy fuels me. It fulfills me. Or seeing people who have too much energy to spend, who have a bubbly personality, who are outgoing and easy to talk to, and somehow I like to have fun with such people, I literally do what I want, what my soul wants.

Honestly everyone needs that person in everyone's life. We both need to remind each other of good things, to reassure each other.

Somehow it's easy for me to say the nicest things to others, but I don't say anything nice to myself. And now I understand that whenever I have to say some nice things to others, I should also consider it for myself.

While I'm writing someone a message, now for example "You matter, you're a part of everyone's life" it should also apply to me.

Because when I read I should imagine that sentence not only as a message for the other person, but also as a message for me.

Now I will permeate it through philosophy:

Every human should feel loved because humans have feelings and their feelings must not be misled.

1. I, as a human, wrote this to someone who is also a human.
2. I took it from my head, so it's an idea I came up with myself.
3. If I am able to say it to someone, then I am also able to say it to myself.
4. According to that statement, if I am human, I should feel loved and my feelings should not be misled.
5. So it means that if I wrote it for others and pulled it out of my head, then it should also apply to me because I am also human and I should treat myself as I treat others.

Now don't think I'm just talking about myself because this applies to you too. Also I think logical thinking can help you heal yourself. So I recommend reading some philosophy books that explain how to get more logical thinking.

I read somewhere on Pinterest that delusion can also be negative, in the sense that you convince yourself (gaslight) of some negative things. So delusion seems like illogical behavior.

I don't want to mislead feelings here, I just want to say how logical thinking can get us out of that vicious cycle of thinking in the negative. Feelings can also be there as a reminder that we are capable of loving and being loved. And logical thinking is there as a reminder that we are capable of managing our life and getting ourselves back on track.
