"If you can think of times in your life that you鈥檝e treated people with extraordinary decency and love, and pure uninterested concern, just because they were valuable as human beings. The ability to do that with ourselves. To treat ourselves the way we would treat a really good, precious friend. Or a tiny child of ours that we absolutely loved more than life itself. And I think it鈥檚 probably possible to achieve that. I think part of the job we鈥檙e here for is to learn how to do it."
