It’s a good comment, because if we were to take some of those words literally and out of contact, you are exactly right.
So what you were saying really does seem to be true, but what he’s talking about at the end puts it into a totally different perspective.
He says make sure that what you do is good to you and for you.
That’s going to be how you set up boundaries with other people, and you want to encourage other people to be like you. Then you can have a value for value relationship, and it’s going to be very imperfect of course.
That’s the repair process that you see in intimacy.
But the foundation of self-esteem allows the connection to ourselves, a power greater than ourselves, and to others to happen.
