Self-love and gratitude

Self-love tries to find a middle ground between egoism (only I am important) and altruism (only others are important). It was neglected or forgotten for a long time, with love for one's neighbour being predominantly propagated. Children want to learn this form of love from their parents by being taught by example. The opposite of self-love is the lack of love for oneself, self-destruction, self-harm and self-limitation. In this lecture, you will learn interesting facts about this particularly important form of expression of love.
