Alexandra Marinina. Spring for the traps (№ 129163)

The man who does not love himself, cannot love others. He basically can not love. Don't know how. After all, what is loving yourself? It means to tell yourself: I am what I am, with all their advantages, faults and quirks and I love myself, so that I take myself. If the person knows how to treat himself, he is exactly the same will apply to others, that is, to accept them for who they are and love them the way and not try to remake himself on his own understanding.
