> Forgive yourself if you ever behave sub-optimally

Of course there's nothing to forgive. There's no need to course-correct against a way that almost no-one will feel.

> Tyranny starts with the best of intentions.

Placing an irrelevant (and untrue) statement such as this next to the point you're making to imply that it reinforces it is a bit manipulative.

You sound lucky enough to have dodged self-hate. Happy for you. Enjoy your day.

I just don't have the self-confidence to think writing a comment on a website will solve self-hate.
