Selfless??

who comes first?
you?? or your relationship???
hmm, to be politically correct, 'relationship' would sound as a good answer, but, can you truely love someone if you cant love yourself???

I wrote about this, a week back, but in a different context.

But yes, one has to love oneself so that they can look at others with the same love but caution shd be excercised there.... They shdnt become totally in love with oneself that they dont thave ime to lk for others.

It is indeed difficult to answer. But something I would agree on is Don’t settle for a relationship that won’t let you be yourself. I would also believe in flexibility in a relationship in some difficult times, but to what extent only time and circumstances can decide...:)

Me me me
as i have learnt that if i don't love myself care for myself then no one else will. hence in any relationship i wnat to kep myself as center and tehn think of rest.
in life i have learnt that u need to be self centered selfish or wht ever at times(or most of teh times)
as u cannot make some oen else happy without urself being happy

I feel that there is nothing called true love. Its just an exaggerated state of mind.

Thats an eternal question and the answer keeps changing at ever other incident. Lets just say its relative, a 'response to stimulus' rather than a predetermined decision !

let me try... most of us never know ourselves. most of us discover ourselves from another person... our better half. and to love a person selflessly is true love. everyone loves themselves implictly. there is no denying that. or else u wont bother to eat or drink or breath or live! subconciously, we love ourselves. every living being would try that last fight for survival. and thats love for oneself!!! :-)

I believe that if you want to love someone, you need to love yourself completely first. When you love your own self it shows in the love that you shower on that special person too!
