A conjecture about Love...

Hi gadhi I am afraid, I can not agree with you. Love is some strong feeling which arises from the bottom of our heart towards certain people or thing. The feeling provokes us to own that peopel's heart or possess that paticular thing for us. This is my opinion. May be I am right or wrong

Hmmmm...Interesting! But I won't agree to the expression.(If this self strictly implies ownself). There are many a things done which not necessarily portray self-love, even though the act has been made out of love for something. Suppose, a soldier fighting a losing battle, and he surely is going to die, but the valiant effort is not for self love. A simple act of humanity in the midst of this selfish world may not necessarily be out of self-love. It could just arise out of nowhere and with no hidden selfishness. I really hope I am making sense here .

Howdy buddy GADHISUNU! Happy Valentines and Kung Hei Fat Choy to everyone. I agree. Love has so many meaningful words to say or to express though it is misunderstood by many also. A true love in motion of expressions will go out first to an individual and always comes back as love also. And that is perfection. When expressing a true love the best thing to do is not to expect to comes back. That's where trust, self-sacrifice and patience comes out because of love. Love is measured that way. If just a little or just enough it creates envies and jealousies. And at the end becomes hatred. A True Love is also knowing all the truths thru wisdom. Too much love is pride. It is not a crime to have pride but it can cause wars and sufferings to others including to own self. Pride can be a meaning of of a "too much self-love" but it is not really a self-love it is only an illusion of not knowing or not having or blind in wisdom. Thank and Enjoy! myLot!

self love has 2 defination for me but it is some how linked to one another 1- selfish - we love ourself too much that we start hurting peoplee in order to achieve what we want 2- respect ourself - we love ourself and want to give the best for ourselves when me n hubby fought the greatest war for 16 years to marry each other ~ we did show the selfish side, where we unintentionally hurt our families but we loved ourselves so much that we knew love with each other actually is 'the love for ourself' wanting that person makes us happier .. this is the same, when we love our pets .. the love we pour onto them actually is the 'feel' of love we hv for ourself , we love the feeling of 'love' that we feel inside us cheers

And why not! We are a creation of God and we have this responsibility towards us. My motto in life is 'Love yourself and help save planet earth' If we love ourselves we will see that we have a good conscience which in turn leads to living a life that is beneficial to mankind. Now coming to your point. Whatever we do even helping others in the final analysis it makes us happy and that happy feeling is what we are searching for only if we love ourselves.
