Maybe
rather than trying to practice Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself,
we could
better understand and practice,
Be Kind to
Your Neighbor and To Your Self.
Be Kind. Now we all know what
that means.
Being kind
has no connotations (as love can have) of sexuality or
martyrdom.
Being kind is simply that -- being kind to others,
being kind to ourselves.
For me, it just made Loving Myself
and Loving My Neighbor a whole lot simpler.
I just
have to "be kind" to myself, to "be kind" to my neighbor.
I focus on
having kind thoughts, kind motives, kind actions
