The Self That Needs Love

When you were born, you didn’t have any idea of how or what you are suppose to be. You were innocent & pure in all respect. You were like a canvass waiting to be painted on.

As you grew older, you assumed an identity of who you are suppose to be based on the influences of your parents, peers, teachers & your culture as a whole. The blank canvass has been painted on but the picture was not really a reflection of your true self.

It was a self that conforms to outside influences. Thus, this self depends on these same influences for love approval and acceptance. It gives you a false sense of yourself. It is very fragile and constantly making efforts to protect itself. It never feels secure despite outer appearances because it depends on others for what it needs. We call this self the false self or the EGO.
