"All ability to love begins with and is conditioned by one's ability to love oneself. If we are to love others and to love life itself, we must have a true love for ourselves, a healthy self-image, a sense of self appreciation." - John Powell, SJ
Some of us were taught that it is wrong to love ourselves. This was a serious mistake made by parents in previous generations. They did not understand the proper relationship between love of self and love of others. John Powell, a Jesuit scholar with degrees in theology and psychology, understands the proper relationship between love of others and love of self.
