In Spanish, kissing means “BÉ_SAME”: In a loving kiss, two people merge into a feeling of “being the same”. The act of kissing is more than just physical rapprochement. It is an expression of affection, intimacy and connection. Two individuals merge authentically in their equality. But what is of equal value?
It is not the worldly values and opinions that need to align. It is the same respect as they appreciate and honor the uniqueness of the other person that is equally there when the words and thoughts melt into a pure gesture of affection.
Mutual respect is like an electronic impulse that flows between two people and in this connecting moment “e_QUALITY” is revealed.
Now imagine that self-love is like a tender kiss that you give yourself: a moment of surrender in full self-acceptance.
Self-love is a concept that is often misunderstood. It creates great illusions in the mind. For example, self-love does not mean finding one’s appearance beautiful or being proud of professional achievements, but rather meeting one’s own uniqueness and its expression with full devotion, kindness and compassion.
In a world that often pushes us to be perfect and constantly strive for external approval, it is important to treat ourselves with love and respect. Let us learn to embrace ourselves tenderly and accept ourselves in our own sameness and uniqueness, just as we are all uniquely different and can learn from each other.
The loving kiss, whether from others or from ourselves, reminds us that true connection and authenticity begin within ourselves. By respecting, loving and accepting ourselves, we can build a deep relationship with ourselves that constructively influences our well-being and our relationships with others.
