A person who loves himself, forgives mistakes, imperfections of his personality which he is unable to correct, to himself. He doesn’t live in a condition of a constant feeling of being guilty, and thus, he is free of many stresses. Having learned to love himself, he learns how to love his family and friends in the same way – by forgiving them and understanding their imperfections, not demanding from them to give more than they can give, and not reproach them for misdeeds.
