Trust in myself, what I am, loving myself and so on

As long as I love myself sufficiently.

As long as I trust what I am sufficiently.

As long as I believe in “me” sufficiently.

I “stand united” with anything that I am or that makes me what I am or even parts of what I am.

I “stand in solidarity” with what I represent, what composes me, whatever is a part of me, what my nature is, what my will is, and particularly, what freedom the resulting “me” has a right to “stand for” in the first place.

That is the number one starting point, the fundamental pillar on which I exercise my free will : me.

Because I love myself, because I trust myself, whatever I am, whether a mixture of ego and observer, subconscious and conscious and biological body, selfish animalistic interest and altruistic compassionate and intelligent interest, instinct or thought, emotions or rationality, destructive or creative or constructive or structuring, and because all and more of these are part of my nature, part of who I am in the first place.

Then “we” (“we” whatever is part of me) are all in this together, might as well get used to it, and “I” am not about to start destroying parts of myself, rejecting parts of myself, dividing parts of myself, as if all those parts had conflicting interests.

So the trust (not devotion) in myself, the love (not lust) in myself, the confidence (not vanity) in myself then allows myself to act according to a will. A will which is not only influenced by this or that, a will which is influenced and composed of this and that but which, because it shares a common goal and interest, purpose; works together rather than against each other.

There is no need to conquer the self or let yourself be conquered. You simply (well, I at any rate) simply need to make peace with yourself.

Once that is done, there is no need to trust anything else or anyone else, if trust when applied in this way, serves to compensate for a fear that is caused by a lack of trust in myself.

Since I 100% have faith in me, I do not need to trust anything or anyone else and I don’t need need to fear anything.

(that doesn’t mean I can’t and won’t, it simply means doing so is not a compulsive necessity)

Once that is done, we can go to war and fight for what we stand for.
