There are ear tairity many things we could and should give up to be better per sons. However, the basic goals for the Christian life ie not to add more no-no’s to a list so the person with the longest list of no-no's becomes the best Christian. « So, Jesus knew that loving one's self as he ought and loving one's neighbor was all part of the asms parcel. Kierkegaard has said, "If anyone, therefore, will not learn from Christianity to love himself in the right way, then neither can he love his neighbor. To love one's self In the right way and to love one's peighbor are absolutely analogous concepts, are at the bottom one and the same. Hence the law is: Too shall love yourself ae you love pour neighbor when you love him as yourself There must be a beginning of finding genuine contact with one's self before one is able to reach out and share their riftiflcance with another human bring.
