As Gandhi put it, every religion has, at its core, the message of gentleness, self-sacrifice and generosity, that is equated with love and being a loving person. So what’s wrong with that you might ask?
If you are an Empath, it means that if you believe this religious doctrine dogma, you are committing yourself to life of misery and suffering. Why? Because you will always be putting other peoples feelings and emotions ahead of your own, and in that, there is no self-love, only self-hatred.
So the question you need to ask yourself is, are you going to continue to believe what your religion has taught you about love and life, and just endure your pain and suffering until you are dead; or, are you going to question your beliefs and find out for yourself, what love and life really are. If you are happy with your life and want to defend your religious beliefs, by all means go for it; but… don’t complain about your life and your experiences.
Food for thought… or not.
