The Beautiful Simplicity of Christianity

Rule 2: "Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping."

-Jordan B. Peterson, from Twelve Rules for Life

Jesus has told us that the best way to live our lives is to love God with all our hearts, and to love others as we love ourselves. That is a challenge for me, because I am an arrogant elitist sometimes, thinking proudly that I despise the entire human race and all its' foibles, making me better than everyone in the room with me. Not because of anything superficial, rather, because that's how fucking awesome I think I am. Eventually, I wind up boring, and alienating, everyone I meet. No wonder. Most people can spot a selfish jerk immediately.
