The concept of self- love has been misconceptualised as something bad. No! it is not. Love, a deeper affection for others is an out flow of the inner self. Self-love is important to living well. It influences who you pick as a friend, who you are and how you cope with the problems in your life.
NEMO DAT QUOD NON HABENT( no one can give what he does not has) and as English assertion goes; Charity begins at home, Love must begin from self. For you to say you love, you must first love yourself. That is the reason christ says "Love your neighbour as you love yourself" meaning show the love you show to yourself to the neighbour.
The love of self is not bad as some people thought but extremely loving yourself is what is bad as also extremely loving your neighbour is a vice too.
People loose hope of living or get tired of the world to the rate of committing suicide because they do not love themselves.
Start today to love yourself. Say to yourself-- I LOVE YOU
