Love Self = Love World

"In loving ourselves, we love the world." (page 29, Mark Nepo, The Book of Awakening)

I don't know how this is true. This is one man's belief.
But it makes you think, could the world be a better place, if I loved myself, a little better, or perhaps a little more properly? What I mean by that is if all the people who are so down on themselves, or have such a skewed sense of themselves, could get it more in positive alignment, then perhaps the world would be better. We all would be better. Just something to think about. After all, it was Jesus who told us to love others ---- as we love ourselves. (Matt 22:39)
