Sometimes I wonder about the original intention and meaning of this expression
I’ve come to believe that maybe Jesus meant it as: “Love yourself as your neighbor”
Meaning: unless you love and accept yourself, it’s going to be hard to love others as well.
- tastyfreeze 4y agoI always thought it was a lead in to expanding your tribe. If you love your neighbor as yourself they become friends and maybe family. Group animosity and violence is much less likely if we are in the same tribe. With globalization we are all neighbors in some sense.
