Love and self love
You can not love unless you love yourself,
and all your love is worthless
if you fail to take into consideration
your beloved's self-love and her right to love herself.
In fact, she can not love you
unless she may also love herself.
The same applies to you.
The more you love yourself,
the more you also can love others,
and without that self-love
love is without roots and nourishment.
Love works and only works when it is double,
dualistic, dialogue, of giving and receiving,
and although it only can expand by giving,
its miraculous effect is this,
that all your love, the more you give it,
will return to you at the same time
as it is generously spent on your beloved and on others,
and thus will it always double
and remain impossible forever to get lost.
