The 18 th Lie: Self-Respect<br />

We have been told that, “Love makes personal needs known”, or that<br />

“Love makes public all that hurts or is lacking” …<br />

… and yet in Truth: <strong>LOVE</strong> requests nothing for self, while giving<br />

everything for <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r. Love knows that <strong>the</strong> only true deficiency comes<br />

when asking to be made whole; that <strong>the</strong> only way to have needs met is to<br />

renounce <strong>the</strong>m all in Gratitude; and that <strong>the</strong> only way to truly Respect one’s<br />

Self is to never demand to be respected.<br />
