Who dares?
See for youself what gives you the strongest protection, is this your dress, your tattoo, your hair, your logo on your shoes, your make-up? Are you ready to take it off, while everyone is watching? Who dares to undress in public? Yes, everybody sees your naked body, like with Event Horizon by Antony Gormley.
Do you dare to take off your defense mechanism, so don’t hunker down, no fight pose, don’t hide behind the lamp post? Yes, you're in the middle of street with your arms relaxed along your body.
Do you dare to show what you find is the most ugly you: is this your small penis, your uneven breasts, your arched back, your big belly? Yes, everyone sees this ugly you.
There you are. Depending on your own strength. You're relaxed, independent, strong, beautiful. You start to believe this. You believe in yourself. You accept unfavorable looks. You love yourself.
With your self-love you see the independence, strength, beauty of others. You accept it when the other is not seeing their self-love for a moment. You love yourself and the other.

Wie durft?
Ga eens voor jezelf na wat jou de meeste bescherming biedt: is dat je kleding, je tattoo, je haar, je logo op je schoenen, je make-up? Durf je dit af te doen, terwijl iedereen kijkt? Wie durf zichzelf uit te kleden op straat? Jah, iedereen ziet je naakte lichaam, zoals bij Event Horizon van Antony Gormley.
Durf je jouw verdedingsmechanismen uit te zetten: dus niet ineen duiken, geen gevechtspose innemen, niet achter de lantaarnpaal te staan? Jah, je staat midden op straat met je armen ontspannen langs je lichaam.
Durf je te tonen wat je lelijk vindt van jezelf: is dat je kleine piemel, je ongelijke borsten, je gebogen rug, je dikke buik? Ja, dit lelijke ziet iedereen.
Daar sta je dan. Helemaal afhankelijk van je eigen kracht. Je bent ontspannen: je bent onafhankelijk, sterk, mooi. Je begint dit te geloven. Je gelooft in jezelf. Je accepteert afkeurende blikken. Je houdt van jezelf.
Met jouw zelfliefde zie je de onafhankelijkheid, kracht en schoonheid van de ander. Je accepteert als de ander diens zelfliefde even niet heeft. Je houdt van jezelf en de ander.
