I want to agree. Life would be easier if I could. But, I'm unable to embrace the idea that we are all enough, and I don't find radical self-love to be brave if you're a piece of shit; then it is cowardly, and an excuse not to try and better yourself.

I wonder if capitalism is truly predicated on the idea that we're not enough. To me it seems to be based upon an erroneous and destructive definition of what being enough is. We are taught to measure success through the accumulation of material possessions, the power we wield over others, or the amount of followers we have on instagram.

I believe the true measure of success is how much better you are today than you were yesterday. And of course, the word better here needs to be defined, for the average soul would too define that as having more as opposed to being more. I think a measure of improvement, is being happier in spite of not having; being less of a piece of shit in spite of the bullshit you have to deal with daily.

I just think it a dangerous idea, that we are all enough. I'm not opposed to us being forgiving towards ourselves in regards to our short-comings, but I think that forgiveness is only warranted when our mistakes are seen as lessons, rather than acceptable traits that we need not overcome. As an example, do you think the rapist or the murderer is enough? I am not sure that I do, or can.
