it is logically incoherent to love yourself
getting and staying healthy and educated are just the implied mandates of having a human body and mind. it's not self-love to eat spirulina and read a book. it's doing your duty. everything else is indulgence but, you want to dress it up with the patina of philosophy and morality, especially with the amount of bandwidth the term/idea takes up in some of your lives. how about self-sacrifice? I never hear anything about it. my swipe kept trying to autocorrect to 'self-care' just now while I was trying to write it. get out of your heads. your desires and emotions are actually not that important and, their satiation and entertainment unfulfilling.

As someone with depression, it is self love to indulge yourself. I have to force myself to have joy, and to do the things I once enjoyed or even to get bathed, it's a lot of effort for me not to just sleep my life away and not see the point of doing anything. I struggle with the obligation to my own self-care. Even with antidepressants I don't look after myself very well, so I'm calling bs on your opinion on self-care. It doesn't define my experience, it's not a duty, it's a chore and one I'm frankly bored of doint, but it's unfortunately what keeps me going and keeps me to an extent "sane".

The universal human socio-physiological experiences in this world are rife with an imbalance between being nurtured and trauma. Trauma is more prevalent. Each of these influences one's motivation to express upon society their overall demeanor in varying capacities according to the origin of the influences. This is due to the instinctual drive of adapting to the environment that you're in and experience the most of. As a result, the imbalance of traumatic experiences being more predominant, creates more trauma, which creates more trauma. In order to regress this imbalance, having a definition of healthy self love can positively influence the adaptive instinct to motivate one's self to reflect their self love upon society instead of their demeanor resulting from negative experiences. Speaking of self sacrifice, in Buddhism the quest for knowledge and understanding is contrary to achieving enlightenment. In my younger years I pursued enlightenment to escape trauma. I realized as I became closer to reaching it that the trauma is only retained by personal attachment to it. I abandoned my pursuit of enlightenment to remove my attachment to trauma. In the process of healing and removing it, I realized it was more important to pursue knowledge and wisdom to help others in healing and removing their attachment to trauma so that the world can become more balanced between traumatic events and being nurtured. I made the self sacrifice of becoming enlightened in exchange for helping others. That journey has inflicted many extreme traumatic situations upon myself that sometimes can be too much to bear. Each person has their own unique journey through this life. Universally applying pressure to others to seek out a specific path of thinking is contrary to personal growth. Abandoning attachments to experiences that incite a self love in order to achieve a structured society will always create more harm within that society than intended. People need self love in order to psychologically heal from trauma. Removing the emotional aspect of psychology & philosophy is extremely harmful. Even animals understand the depth of emotional value. That is why elephants mourn their deceased, among many other examples; all of which are interdependent on that species' environments and adaptation to those environments. Each species choosing how much they integrate emotional value into their survival dependent upon their environment. In humanity's bid for survival, too much self love and not enough create an environment that either weakens or intensifies our survival instincts. Too much of either motivates individual cultures to turn against each other or against their own culture. In each event, those cultures become vulnerable to the prey of cultures with the opposing imbalance of survival instincts. All warfare originates from survival instincts. Those instincts are shared universally between the majority of any culture. Those instincts are shaped and influenced between the balance of having enough by means of feeling nurtured, having too much creating a desire of greed, or not having enough by means of the majority feeling the lack of being nurtured. Manipulation of these is a method that governments use to influence a majority of a particular culture for that government's personal agenda. The majority of people within most governments have survival instincts heightened to a level of having too much and becoming greedy, as being employed or designated within a government or military position often is rewarded with a sense of power and instituting a sense of desire to have more in order to motivate those people to pursue serving that government to their fullest abilities.

We try to hide in silence, to escape the heart's despair, But pain is a persistent guest, that's always lurking there. It seeps into our quiet nights, and whispers every day, A constant reminder of the hurt, that refuses to fade away.

To stand on one's own is strength, is it not
I've found that being alone helps me get to know myself better and give self love. Before though it'd be dreadful. I think its because the more you love spending time with yourself the less lonliness hurts you.

One last thought
Critical thinking has been taken away from us and replaced by an influential media that gives us no substantive content. We stumble through the dark, looking for a candle to light the way; what form will the candle take?

Resiliency and meaning
Camus quite literally saved my life years ago and while this is a small part I've always held this quote close.

Two faces of sorrow, a tale of pain, One hides behind a smile, a lips' disguise in vain. The other reveals the truth, in eyes that dimly shine, A window to the heart, where depression's darkness entwine.

Sometimes it takes sadness to know happiness, noise to appreciate silence, and absence to value presence.

A heart that's numbing, a soul that's worn, I've buried the pain, and the tears that are born. I say nothing, I feel nothing, it's true, For in silence, I've found a way to see this through.
