the true beauty of hannibal is that they managed to pull that script off. if someone came up to me and said “i find the trout to be a very nietzchean fish” i’d slap them in the face. but they put mads mikkelsen in a three piece suit and had him say that line and everyone, myself included, was like “wow. very compelling. what an excellent show. i will keep watching.”

Your purpose in life is not to love yourself but to love being yourself.
If you goal is to love yourself, then your focus is directed inward toward yourself, and you end up constantly watching yourself from the outside, disconnected, trying to summon the “correct” feelings towards yourself or fashion yourself into something you can approve of.
If your goal is to love being yourself, then your focus is directed outward towards life, on living and making decisions based on what brings you pleasure and fulfillment.
Be the subject, not the object. It doesn’t matter what you think of yourself. You are experiencing life. Life is not experiencing you.
