What Is Self-Love,? : What Is Self Love?

For many, love is a constant search for happiness that never ends. The desire for love is longed for and pursued by every human. Many constantly seek it in self satisfaction, but are never fully satisfied with the love which they attain. The biggest reason for this is the distortion of the love which is sought for. True love is pure and selfless, the perfection of a person. It is truly something which must be cultivated in order to recognize and attain it.

“Learning to love yourself will be the hardest thing you’ll ever do in life”. The 21st century, the era of perfection. The era where you are told how to look or else you are not considered beautiful to the world. The era where people like myself go through extremes to be beautiful even just feel beautiful. The extremes that I took were, looking for “love” anywhere with anyone, not caring about my health, and putting my academic career in danger, all of that just to be and feel beautiful.

The individual must also love Him. Emerson states, “Love, which is the essence of God, is not for levity, but for the total worth of man.” (1518) You cannot love God without loving yourself and vice versa. Where there is love, there is trust. God created society; God created us; we must trust and love all of creation. “My friends have come to me unsought. The great God gave them to me,” (1452) says Emerson. A gift granted by God is worth as much love as one shows himself. “I find them, or rather, not I, but the Deity in me and in them, both deride and cancel the thick walls of individual character.” (1453) Society can become jovial and loving when the trust and love transcends the physical and becomes part of God. When we are all in tune and play our notes, the chords sound wonderful and a song plays

After having read for class, heard the lecture, and researching on my own , I would like to pose the following question to our discussion class: Are we just wired that way? Is it how we were raised decides how we act? Having my parents being involved in my life showed me how to live independently. I learned from my peers who I can trust and who not to trust. I also learned how to play and share with others through interactions. As we grow up we learn how to accept who we are. If we never know ourselves then how can we show others.

The self-love argument is that all actions are for self. That no act is performed

A sense of belonging is not only a want, but a necessity for humans. It is described on “Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs”, as feeling loved and accepted in the social world that we live in. Every individual has personal needs that reflect their paradigm of the world they live in. Some display selflessness, through being happy when others are happy. Others will go the extra mile to present their love and desire for another. While a person may appear happy, they may also be acting. Pretending to be someone is an expression of self doubt, and fear of not being accepted. There are numerous ways a person goes about feeling loved and accepted in their environments, and they vary based on self image and which needs they have prioritized.

It can refer to an emotion of a strong attraction and personal attachment. When you learn how to love someone, you learn how to live life. Love is something that is located deep down in everyone’s life’s whether it is apparent or hidden. But, at one point or another in everyone’s life, you will be heartbroken or be the one breaking hearts, but after everything, you will start to truly understand that once you lose something,

Love is a feeling that should be given wholeheartedly because it is the experience that makes loving someone

In the world of psychology, there is a behavioral theory called “nature vs. nurture.” This theory suggests that all children are naturally good, that they are born with a blank slate, and they need mothering in order to become “human.” I believe there are certain things that someone needs to qualify as human. I think all infants are born naturally good, but it’s up to their guardians whether the infant turns out to be a good character. It is also up to you whether you want to be a good person with good values.

Self esteem thrives in a nurturing enviorment. We will know and believe that we are loveable if, and only if, we are loved and nurtured by our parents.

Years ago I read a passage in a book by: “Louise L. Hay” she said; every morning you can get up and look in the mirror and decide what kind of day you are going to have.” The beauty of it is, you can get up the following morning and decide all over again. This is a powerful statement, letting us know we have the power to control our feelings and shape our outlook on life. If you are telling yourself positive things, it will help you build a positive self-esteem.
