If you hate yourself and you make a law against hate you criminalize how you feel. This provides the perfect reason to hate yourself. When you hate the criminal within you hate the criminal without and go after him with a vengeance. In this way you train yourself to hate and never be what you are. But of course, you are what you are, you just don't allow yourself to see it. You are passive aggressive. There can be no help for those who hate themselves for how they feel because their problem can't ever be dealt with straight on and honestly. The need to be good in ones own mind to hide how evil one was made to feel, precludes one from seeing ones own symptoms.
The journey of self knowledge is all about opening the self to the possibility that one is not who one thinks, but who one despises by understanding that ones notion of evil are upside down.
You feel worthless and pretend you are good, but you are upside down. You are not worthless and you are not good because that good is sick. The job is to integrate into consciousness the self that one hates by becoming that person. You have to feel the rage within and that will take you to your pain. The pain will take eventually lead to the memory, real events in your past, where you were forced to buy this disease. The pain will lead you to re-experience what happened and that will open grief. When the huge cyst we carry is lanced it begins to be possible to heal. Real compassion can start to happen as you begin to love yourself, hold yourself, care for the child that was ruined by being put down.
Can this be done other ways. I think it probably can, but this is the true nature of the real problem, in my opinion, and the most direct road. But it is not something easily, and certainly not advisedly, done alone. What we need most, in my opinion, is to make it part of our culture to set up institutions of some kind or another where we can go to heal and where others on the same path can help each other.
