About This Quote
When you embrace a “love ethic,” you are choosing to live by the idea that love is the most important thing in your life. Is it difficult to love others when they are not always nice to you? Maybe. But, really loving yourself is even harder. You have to learn how to be happy with yourself and accept your flaws. When you do that, the people around you will start to treat you better.
