Do you think that yourself is the most important thing?

I think self is the most important thing to care of. There are people depends on the people surrounds them why don't we make our own stand. But with this courage and confidence of one self would lead to chaos . Don't you think? Because if all people are leaders. Will it have balance on living? I don't think so. Thats why there are people who are below of what we or you think that the person is in lower or higher level. I don't think that people has its level because all people are equal and with the help of everyone people are able to live and maintain the balance of the society. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Maybe, As they say, how can we love others if we do not love ourselves. But of course too much of everything is not at all good. We need to balance our love for oneself and give value to our being without seemingly arrogant or boastful to others.

Who has the right to decide anyone elses 'value' in the scheme of things? I'm no artist, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy anothers talent. It doesn't mean that I can't paint or sculpt. But I know what I like. I'm no beauty queen, but at least I know that I who I 'attract' is on on a deeper level than skin deep. I think your wrong about leaders. Yes there are people with the ability to 'lead the way' and those who will follow, BUT I feel that a good leader will recognise others abilities and 'share' others inputs that will also alow they themselves to lead in a well informed way (did that make sense.lol?) We each need to look after ourselves so that we can be our best. (Mothers are usually the ones who run themselves dow physically. & emotionally for the better of their family) But we do not have to judge or belittle some one else, or advance ourselves at someone elses expense. Is that the way to 'get ahead. If so, i'll be 'worthless' but happy. Because I need to live with honour. P,L,&MB's

Yes, of course, we have our equality on different levels but it doesn't really mean that we are treating them wrongly. At certain times, we have to put ourself down just for others to feel that they got an importance and that we also put high regard to them. Many are still living on the sad truth that they look down so much on themselves and they think that they never matter in a big society. Few are oozing with confidence and they are the ones attracting more opportunities. Well, I can only say that depending on situation and depending on people I deal with, I value myself but I put others importance not exactly putting myself down. I still put high regards to myself but taking into account that I will not be stepping down on anyone. Still, love rules! Spread the love!
