Is Self-Hatred the Anti-Dao?

 I should perhaps say any form of self-refuting behaviour, of which self-hate is the emotional incarnation. 

 If you hate yourself, then you hate your self-hatred; you want to destroy your self-hatred because you believe it is wrong. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If the self-hatred doesn't encompass itself, then we contradict the premise that it's [self] hatred.

 All demons and devils are characterized by self-hatred. In my usual schema, demons can theoretically be fixed while a devil's self-hatred is inherent. 

 Note that beliefs and feelings are types of behaviour. Believing is something you do. Feel is a verb. This doesn't go without saying because English is a corrupt trash fire instead of a language. 

 

 Existence is the Dao. It makes sense that self-destruction, existence which tries to end its own existence, would be the anti-Dao. 

 Self-hatred makes you incompetent. Symbolically, turning away from existence makes it difficult to affect existence. From another angle, any competent self-destroyers have already destroyed themselves by the time you get a chance to observe them; selection. 

 Self-hatred is inherently inglorious. There is nothing you can only gain through self-hatred except self-destruction. Things that don't exist can't have properties, such as glory. This aside, anything you can gain through self-hatred you can more easily gain by not hating yourself.

 Thus we find Existence valorizes selfishness. Psychological egoism wins again.
 The basic virtue is self-perpetuation, for suitably sophisticated values of [self], and a [perpetuation] that implies glorification and growth as stagnation => decline and annihilation.
 The basic vice is spreading ideas of self-destruction.
 The basic perversion is deliberately picking a self-perpetuation that inherently requires the destruction of other selves.
