Be your own friend

做自己的朋友

The key to being friends with oneself lies in having another self.

能否和自己做朋友，关键在于有没有另一个自我。

It is actually a person's higher self, which cares for the self that struggles in the world with a rational attitude. Rational care is the characteristic of friendship.

它实际上是一个人的更高的自我，这个自我以理性的态度关爱着那个在世界上奋斗的自我。理性的关爱，这正是友谊的特征。

Some people do not love themselves and blindly blame themselves, just like their own enemies. Some people love themselves without reason, blindly narcissistic, just like their own lover. In both cases, the higher self is absent.

有的人不爱自己，一味自怨，仿佛自己的仇人。有的人爱自己没有理性，一味自恋，俨然自己的情人。在这两种场合，更高的自我都是缺席的。

——周国平

So we need to care for ourselves rationally and make ourselves our best friends.

所以我们要理性地关爱自己，让自己成为自己最好的朋友。
