PHILOSOPHER: You think you’d be happier if you were like him. Which means that you are not happy now, right?
YOUTH: What? PHILOSOPHER: Right now, you are unable to feel really happy.
This is because you have not learned to love yourself. And to try to love yourself, you are wishing to be reborn as a different person.
You’re hoping to become like Y and throw away who you are now. Correct?
YOUTH: Yes, I guess that’s right! Let’s face it: I hate myself!
I, the one who’s doing this playing around with old-fashioned philosophical discourse,
and who just can’t help doing this sort of thing—yes, I really hate myself.
PHILOSOPHER: That’s all right. If you were to ask around for people who say they like themselves,
you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who’d puff up his or her chest with pride and say, “Yes, I like myself.”
YOUTH: How about you? Do you like yourself? PHILOSOPHER: At the very least,
I do not think I would like to be a different person and I accept who I am.
YOUTH: You accept who you are? PHILOSOPHER: Look, no matter how much you want to be Y, you cannot be reborn as him.
