When they say love yourself, they mean love your ego. That’s why they tell you to have boundaries so that the ego doesn’t get bruised or drained.

It is only the ego that desires to be loved because it operates from lack and thus requires boundaries to protect its illusion.

Love Is limitless and boundless. Thus, it cannot be given or taken; broken or healed; drained or filled. This is what the ego experiences because its very foundation is ignorance.

—L.A.M.P
