Purpose of loving kindness in DN

Posts: 199 Join Date: 9/11/14 Recent Posts
I'm just curious why loving kindness is recommended in DN. What I notice is that in the falling away of attachment to things that defined me (such as hobbies, passion, and other various doings) there is a great sense of low self worth, jealousy, etc. I often feel like "I have nothing" or "I am nobody".

Is this why loving kindness on self is recommended?

I'm just curious.

Hi Ivory

My main meditation object is loving kindness so I got interest on your post but I am not sure that is DN?
