“The more you see yourself and the more you see yourself in others, the more you’ll be able to really love others.”

Simplified Meaning:

When you understand yourself better and recognize that others have similar feelings and experiences, it's easier to genuinely care for them. Imagine you’re learning to play an instrument. At first, it’s difficult, but with practice, you improve and realize that others learning the same instrument struggle in similar ways. This shared experience helps you feel a connection to them. Thinking about how you feel in different situations can help you understand that others may feel the same way. For example, if you get nervous speaking in front of a group, and you see someone else struggling with the same task, you'll feel empathy for them. This connection makes you more compassionate and supportive. By acknowledging that everyone has their own challenges and emotions, just like you do, you create a sense of unity and understanding. This can lead to stronger, more meaningful relationships. Treat people kindly, considering their feelings as much as your own, and you will find that you become more loving and accepting.
