Deflecting self-hate.

Augustine:

This precept by which we are enjoined to lose our life does not mean that a person should kill himself, which would be an un­forgivable crime, but it does mean that one should kill that in oneself which is unduly attached to the earthly, which makes one take inordinate pleasure in this present life to the neglect of the life to come. This is the meaning of “shall hate his life” and “shall lose it.” Embedded in the same ad­monition he speaks most openly of the profit of gaining one’s life when he says: “He that loses his life in this world shall find it unto life eternal. “letters, 243, to LAETUS.
