People who love themselves, don’t hurt other people. The more we hate ourselves, the more we want others to suffer.

Dan Pearce
About This Quote

The more we hate ourselves, the more we want others to suffer. In order to love ourselves, we must first acknowledge that we are not perfect. We can do things that will make us feel badly about ourselves. However, if we allow those feelings to lead us into hateful actions, then we cannot love ourselves.

Instead, we will only love those who hurt us. This is a dangerous path to travel.
