What I have written about love is too extensive to plough through to add something here but this was partly what I was looking for to indicate the danger of self-love but not to denigrate it:
from The ‘Quo Vadis?’ File III
Love. (2)
Love is very much glorified, but remember this: there is love of self (selfish love), self-aggrandisement, love of money, position, power and so many more unethical and immoral things.
Love is a thing of this world of duality.
Ω
