LOVE YOURSELF

Yeah, you hear me right!
Love yourself.
The first question that comes to your mind is "Excuse me, who would not love myself?"
Mind you, you will be amazed!
Upon deeper probing, you may find that not everyone will love themselves.
Why so?
There are a lot of reasons.
Some may feel it is too narcissistic as fairy tales would teach children.
Some may feel that it is too self-centred and living in a community should not focus on self only.
The above not illegitimate reasons but the question is to what extent has this been carried out?
There must be a balance between I - WE.
Why?
If there is no balance, the impact will inevitably affect the rest as well.
Consider the following scenarios.

Scenario A
A is a selfish person. Whatever he/she does, it is all calculated and focus on themselves only. They will do what it benefits them. They do not care about the others so in times of need, they will manipulate others to help themselves.
What happens in the long run?
People will slowly distance themselves away from them and the selfish A cant survive because everyone needs others's help to advance.

Scenario B
B is a caring person. He/She will spend a lot of their time on helping others. He/She feels it is the right way to do things and who knows he may need help from others. Better to build up the goodwill. As they get to know more people, more people ask them for help.
What happens to B in the long run?
B will realise that he cannot cope with the increasing demands of others asking for help. Why? Others are taking advantage of B because he/she is free in their thinking.
If B cannot deliver his promise to help, others will complain or even bear grudges on B.
That will inevitably bring more stress to B because he cant deliver so he fails himself and he has to bear with the grudges and complaints againist him. But in the first place, that is not his business isnt it?
Then he realise, sometimes when he need help the most, people actually rejected him because they have other piorities in life.
After going through a lot of self-thoughts, B might get more jaded and pent up anger rising. In the long term, this is not good for both B and others.

Suppose there is a balance, A loves themselves but finds time to help others. B changes their piorities and love themselves first, it would be better so that everyone around them knows where is their limit and would not have unrealistic expectations about them.

Isnt this nicer?
