Well, you were right. I misunderstood this. It looks very much like you think of yourself as a Buddha. At any rate, I am familiar with the "effort" of becoming a Buddha. I don't believe it, of course.
I like to imagine that I am a Buddha, but I know it's an ego thing. Realistically I am too immoral and unfocused to currently be a buddha, although I do have some characteristics that shine through on occasion. I dabble with the religion, I am not a monk. I honor science and logic of course, yet the right hemisphere of my brain seeks mysticism. What do you believe in for self improvement?
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.
