Wrong self-love is a hindrance to virtue

Pope Shenouda III

It is not a fault or a sin to love oneself, if it is spiritual love. It is the first and greatest commandment, or the highest level of love for the others, as the Lord says: "You shall the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind â€¦ the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Mt 22: 37- 39)
