If you don’t like yourself,
\nwhy don’t you change yourself?
\nIf you can change yourself,
\nwho is really your ‘self’?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Reflections from watching ‘A Ton Image’: <\/strong>If your clone vies for attention of your beloved, would you be jealous – of your double? Would there be a form of self-hate mixed with self-love? Would you compete with your ‘self’? Thank goodness karma and character, especially in terms of the three poisons of greed, hate and delusion cannot be cloned. (The body can be cloned but not the mind.) But if this is possible, would you be brave enough to face yourself?<\/p>\n

Will you be empathetic or disgusted with yourself for ‘your’ weaknesses? Will you forgive or punish your clone for mistakes similar to yours? If you are very self-centered by nature, how do you centre on this extra ‘self’? Is it possible to care only for your clone? Would it be ultimate narcissism or the end of it? Recognising the others to have the same wish for True Happiness like yourself, as a reflection of you, how can you ever be self-centred – be it upon one, two or more ‘selves’?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
