人愛自己很深的時候，是沒辦法做任何事的，假設你奮力想要突破自己，要突破必然遭遇阻力，這個時候你怕會受傷 、被孤離、還沒做就開始害怕，擔心自己受不了，想想這樣的自己，去談許多許多的進步方式，有益處嗎?
A person who loves himself too much is unable to get anything done. If you are really trying to make a breakthrough, you will surely encounter many resistances. When you encounter a resistance, you will be afraid of getting hurt, getting isolated and start to be fearful before doing anything if you love yourself too much. You will worry that you cannot handle the pressure. If you are like this, is it of any use to talk about ways and methods to progress?
很愛自己的人只適合在被保護的狀態下作業，愛自己捨不得自己受苦，當然所有的想法都會被引導到保護自己為優先，這種前提下，平時所吸收的一切資訊或法門，全成了擋箭牌，只會帶自己往好處想，絕不可能拿來糾正自己的錯誤，想進步成了天方夜譚。
People who love themselves can only function in a protective environment. A person who love himself will not allow himself to suffer. All his thinking will be for the purpose of protecting himself. In this context, any methods and knowledge he acquires all become his shields, never to be used to correct his mistakes. This person will never have the ability to advance.
我看過許多聰明人，用盡各種方法規避自己該做的事，卻又成天拿大道理緊扣別人的腦，也算是把自我愛發揮到極點。
I have seen many smart people using all sorts of methods to avoid their duties. But at the same time, these same people will use all sorts of arguments and justification to limit other people. These people probably expressed "Self Love" to the extreme.
人一定是愛自己，這不是用道德可以規範的，中國一些道德學派，把人對名利的追求，說到風清月白的地步，弄到稍有學識的人一說到錢， 避之唯恐不及，但現實生活是誰都需要錢過日子， 接著! 用來反彈這些言論的語言是，人不為己天誅地滅這種話都出來了!
Of course a person will love himself. This is not something that can be dictated by moral standards. There are some philosophical schools in China that disdain the pursuit of fame and fortune, so much so that caused Chinese people with a some intellectual ability to constantly run away from any mention of money. But in reality, people all need money to survive. So the oppositions to this school of thought came out with statements like "Heaven and earth will destroy a person that is not out for himself."
說到底這些言論不是罔顧現實，就是心虛的可以，人要活著需要很多條件的支持，兩袖清風不可能，但為了自己可以做天誅地滅的事，是不是也是自己做了太多心虛的事? 需要用言論保護自己。
Both of these ideas totally disregard reality. Survival requires the support of many conditions. It is impossible to be totally pure, but to be able to destroy heaven and earth just for oneself smacks of using words to make justification for one's own guilty conscious.
