Your relationship will become stronger and happier if you do.

If a friend of mine gave a feast, and did not invite me to it,
I should not mind a bit.
but if a friend of mine had a sorrow

If he thought me unworthy, unfit to weep with him,
I should feel it as the most poignant humiliation.

but we cannot accept and love ourselves.

which are usually judgmental people ...
we should really surround ourselves with the ones
that adore us and believe in the highest of us.
