the idea of self acceptance is a large & very difficult one for me.

I brought this to T yesterday, something I have just run across in my reading - I thought I would share & ask for comments

The acceptance of oneself is the essence of the moral problem and the epitome of a whole outlook upon life... what I do unto the least of my brethren, that I do unto Christ. But what if I should discover that the least among them all, the poorest of all the beggars, the most impudent of all offenders, the very enemy himself - that these are within me and that I myself stand in need of the alms of my own kindness - that I myself am the enemy that must be loved - what then?"
