Self Love Vs Loving Others: Which Should Come First? by helinues: 8:39am On Nov 14, 2021
Between loving oneself and loving Others, which one is more important to you? Which should come first?

Some people would prefer to love themselves dearly but find it hard to love others

Some people are not interested in loving themselves but they can love others 100%

Some can love themselves and still love others: 50/50

While some people don't even have any of the love in their subconscious mind.

So Self love or loving Others, which one top your priority?

Can't believe you are asking such a dumb question. You already know the answer to that but seems you are more interested in the attention you will get from it

I never Love myself finish, I come dey Love others.. That's why before I send any girl 2k, I must spoil myself with 5k first. If I don't have 7k for such frivolities, I'm not sending any 2k.

And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.” - Mark 12:31

The first thing is loving yourself. Then loving others come after.

The preposition “as” tells the magnitude of love one must show one’s neighbour. The proportion of love extended to your neighbours must be the same as the one you have to yourself

If you don't love yourself, you'd be unable to love others.

Love your neighbour as yourself. Meaning you'd have to love yourself first.

I already know the answer? Why do we still have so many mumu in love if those people are practicing self love first ? You can't give what you don't have, remember

For me, I see that "neighbour" in that verse as my inner self.

Love your inner self as your real self.

I don't have Love to waste for Neighbours.

But you can't really experience true self love without loving others. Self love is more like inner peace of mind

Your neighbour in this case is anyone aside yourself.

And is there any sin in loving myself more than my neighbours?

The choice is yours.

If your conscience permits it.

But make sure that you don’t hurt your neighbors

Others should Love themselves too.

Make everybody Love themselves , nobody will have time to Love his or her Neighbour.

Well, as long as I am always considerate with my actions towards my neighbors, we would all be fine

Except if one wants to go extra ordinary, loving others doesn't cost a thing

Loving them makes you being considerate with your actions towards your neighbor.

You could have been inconsiderate and cruel or indifferent towards them. The fact that you thought of them and mind your actions towards them is nothing but loving them.

This is non negotiable. Loving oneself comes first. Every other thing is secondary. angry
