The importance of Liking Yourself is a notion that fell heavily out of favor during the coptic, anti-ego frenzy of the Acid Era--but nobody guessed back then that the experiment might churn up this kind of hangover: a whole subculture of frightened illiterates with no faith in anything.
The concept of self-acceptance faced significant backlash during a time when society rejected ego-centric views, particularly during the Acid Era. This cultural shift led to a neglect of the idea that liking oneself is crucial for personal well-being and confidence. The focus on anti-ego sentiments inadvertently contributed to a generation grappling with self-doubt and insecurity.
