It's selfish to think you're selfish, so ignore anyone who calls you selfish.

 I'll also ignore anyone who calls me that.

Your "self" is the absence of acting like someone else.

 So if you want to be yourself, act like someone else for a while then return to not acting like someone else. Then you're you.

When a loved one condemns you, believing them is heresy. That's because the Holy Spirit doesn't condemn you.

"The only thing that's unforgivable is believing your other sins are unforgivable." I came up when this when I was full of hate. I'm glad that's over.

Forgive.

I weep for you.

It is impossible to overcome ego, because if you overcome ego you will automatically know that and have a big ego about it.

 It is a logical certitude. And if you don't believe that logic can explain the absence of ego, then that contradicts, meaning there is no absence of ego. 

Grandiosity causes detachment. It is too overwhelming.

The current sentence you are reading was written in the past. See?

The way to seem totally connected is to absolutely detach.

 Why? If you were totally detached, you would have to disguise that by seeming totally connected. Like a robot.

I'm sorry that you're sorry.

 And that's why we're not sociopaths.

Trust a systematic method of doubt, and doubt a systematic method of faith.

When your qualifier stops drinking, your confidence will probably improve.

Serious comes off as sad.

 Gravity is still a good thing.

I can offer you the gift of despair.

You can't judo throw someone when you're the one with the power.

You have power over me in all but one way: I'm kinder.

Lack of self-hatred can come off as arrogance.

It's impossible to forgive someone who can't forgive, because forgiveness itself is impossible.

 Do not try to forgive. Instead only try to realize the truth: there is no forgiveness. Then you will see it is not sin that's absolved, it is only your judgement.

If I had one piece of advice to give, it would be that we should all be filled with regret and should forgive ourselves for nothing.

"Don't try to figure out how to forgive in a world full of evil. Instead, realize we are all unforgivable. In that way, we are all equal, and we can be present with each other." That's one way to look at it which leads to almost infinite sorrow.

 "No one is good but God." And God is everything.

The worst thing you've ever done is equal to the worst thing anyone has ever done, because it's that person's worst thing.

 And if someone's never sinned,  everything is the worst thing they've ever done  No one is good but God.

If you put others ahead of you, that's not necessarily good for others. They need to learn that your needs matter.

Peace is a war against war.

For you, it's about other people. For other people, it's about you.

 Of course, there are many ways to interpret that.

Thinking you're great is great. Putting yourself before others is selfish. That is the true meaning of the Buddhist ideal of getting rid of conceit.

Heaven is realizing there is no Hell.

There's no reason for having regrets, but saying that can be a poison for some people.

Thank you for everything you've ever done.

 I'm talking about you, the person reading this very blog entry. Thank you for everything you've ever done. Even if it wasn't perfect, it's made you the person you are today.

"We should all try to live forever, because death makes life meaningless." - Transhumanists

Death makes life meaningless, but some people's lives are meaningful. Therefore the spirit carries on.

 Q.E.D. Quite easily done.
