Love Yourself First

Now, I said, "Love humans rather than God," or exactly "To love humans is just to love God," but what can we do to love humans? To love humans is concretely to love oneself and to love neighbors. Thinking just in head, we cannot leave reasonable thought and at the worst we might conclude, "To love all humans means to love no one. " Our reason can recognize objects only relatively, loving all equals to loving nothing because both have no relative object. In order not to fall into its trap, let's begin with loving oneself to love all. One may feel somewhat out of place with it from the point of religious view of self-sacrifice, but if one were worthless yourself, is it worth while sacrificing yourself? One who cannot love even oneself cannot love others. You yourself is also a human. And God love and cherish humans as his own children, as long as you a human yourself, you are loved by God. So If you like that don't take care of yourself, you will make God  very sad. If God hopes one's happiness, He hopes your happiness (not only yours of course). So it is your duty which God imposes you to become happy yourself. You cannot love others if you belittle yourself and say, "I am a nothing," and grow desperate. In inferiority complex, you see others superoir and happier and jealousy makes you hate humans, far from loving them. One who cannot love oneself cannot love humans. God's love has nothing to do with our value like talent, ability, wealth, status, superiority and inferiority to others. God loves us because we have life, just we are alive, placing abusolute value on life. Being alive is being loved by God unconditionally. And not until we feel that we are loved by God can we love ourself and not until we really love ourselves can we love humans.

"Only one who can love oneself can love humans."

So folks! Take care of yourself!
