Dears,
I have read that self love is an egoistical approach , Does this includes taking care of yourself , accepting yourself
be gentle and kind to yourself but not in narcissistic way ?
I mean how can I love others If I don't love myself ?
How can I give if my cup is empty ?
Moreover, Is self defense and standing up for myself is an egoistical approach also ?
Ex: If someone tries to damage my reputation or attack me physically or verbally the natural thing to do is to defend yourself but without allowing the ego or inner negative feelings to take control , Is this an egoistical approach as well ?
Many thanks
