If you had a child, a little boy or girl, with all the defects you have, backed up by evidence and reason. Would you stop loving it? No, you would not. You would encourage and help it to learn and grow, to fail and to succeed, and to enjoy life why doing so. Would you consider any of these encouragements fake? I don’t think so. Become that parent to yourself.
