How can we expect honesty from others when often we are not honest with ourselves?

How can we expect love from others when often we’re not being loving to ourselves?

How can we expect to find joy in/with others when often we are unable to find/experience joy within ourselves?

Why do we offer kindness & support to strangers and often say/think the cruelest things to/about ourselves?
