If
you have self-hatred, it will define the quality of your love - or lack
of love - and it will ultimately manifest in your love for another. You
may protest upon hearing this teaching that although you struggle with
self-hatred, your love for your spouse is mostly pure, and that
certainly your love of your children is pure. I do not doubt the truth
of your protestations, but experience has shown me that in the end there
is only one love. Love is by its very nature unity, and if you have
feelings of self-loathing, those feelings inevitably become part of your
relationship with the loved one.
