If only we didn't hate ourselves as much as we do, we wouldn't treat each other as poorly as we do. If you loved yourself, thankful for your own existence, there wouldn't be the cheating, the spousal and parental disrespect, the backbiting, the name calling, the slander, etc. If we are above that of a dog, or a snake or a pig, why don't we (the human race) treat each other better?
