Human main weakness is in his or her inability to love. Man didn't know how to love his friends, his family, or another human on earth. The lesson here is to be aware of the act of love which would bring peace, joy and prosperity to the human race. So when man can share, guide, and love his neighbours just like he cares for himself in every endeavours, the ultimate goal achieved will be world peace, harmony. But how will man learn to love others? This is the big question. When he can throw "self" and deny the self and live just for others and not for himself only then the out come will be positive. Man has been destroying and fighting one another since the beginning of the history of mankind because all man are born selfish. He cares for himself because he wants to survive. However modern man with his "modern" education he received is still not able to deny self. The error will go on with man not knowing how to love others but only himself. So the lesson given is not so easily understood by the ordinary folks.

Not about masturbation: How do you love yourself?
by serendipity inas a jw, i knew the scripture said that "you must love your neighbor as yourself" and struggled with the concept of "loving one self.
" or really, what were appropriate ways to love yourself and to what degree.
i thought on the one hand, the wts was not a 'feel good' religion, and certainly didn't encourage self-actualization, self-esteem or anything approaching self love.
