Having compassion for yourself allows you to prosper: having compassion for others allows them to prosper too

This is true.

Any of you who have experienced life enough will realize this is true.

So, not hating yourself allows you to prosper. Not hating others allows them to prosper too.

And as you travel the world you start to notice where people were allowed to prosper they do and where they weren't allowed to prosper they are angry or violent or revengeful towards others sometimes to an extreme degree.

It is dangerous to stifle people. When you do you risk your own life. This is true also.

So, when you get in people's way of surviving better you risk your life and the life of your children.

This is demonstrable worldwide too by the way.

It goes back to "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

Or conversely, "If you don't allow others to do good things they will do bad things to you and your family."

This is also true.

So, it is in your enlightened best interests to help yourself and to help others to prosper.

Your life and the lives of your spouse and children might even depend upon this.
