Dear Caitlin Johnstone:

I always appreciate your many insights and admire your courage and fortitude, including what is in this article. There is a way of accurately seeing the world that has one like it without leaving out any of the evil in it. You deserve to know about it far more than most people. I have studied it for more than 39 years and have come to see its great meaning for all people. For example, it teaches that:

We should not put the interests of others "above" ours but rather see that as much as we feel that taking care of others is the same as taking care of ourselves we will be able to be good and respect ourselves. We cannot love ourselves first then others. We can only love ourselves for being just to what is not ourselves.
