I was listening to Social Distortion's "I Was Wrong" and the lyrics that jumped out and seized me: "But, how can you love when you don't love yourself?"
How can you? Without that fundamental ability to love yourself or treat others without being able to treat yourself...it is hollow no matter how good, it is lacking.
Right. You can't give what you don't have.
I think you believe that not giving ALL you have is selfish. It isn't.
