I just don't see the reason. Why should I cultivate love in the situations where someone caused me great harm ( I am aware it's because of ignorance, but still, why love instead of non-hatred and just not harming them back). Why love all facets of life? I love myself (ego self) way too much to want the harmful situations to be happening in my life, so why love them? It all boils down to want, and I don't want them. I truly don't want any of these things to be happening, so why approach them with love? What's the "benefit" of loving everything?
Thanks for solving my dilemma.
