       How should we Love?

       There is a lot of talk about how to Love others, we are to Love
       others the way we Love ourselves.  Luke 10:27 but few of us
       understand how we love ourselves, especially those that don't
       like themselves much.
       So let's look at John 13:34...“A new command I give you: Love
       one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
       WE are here told to Love others the way Christ Loved us...so
       what then does that tell us about how we Love ourselves?  What
       are some specifics on how to Love?

       Before Jesus gave us his commandment to love one another as he
       loved himself, there were Socrates and Plato setting the stag to
       love openly in all its forms.  They looked love from the view of
       eros all the way to what they considered the highest form of
       love - platonic love.   Part of there discussion was the love of
       "logos".
       Then Jesus of Nazareth came into the world and he preached a
       whole new level of love.
       So when I put it all together we have in my philosophical view,
       been given a truly wonderful gift,  philosophy of how to love
       other, which we ignored.  Then the Christ told us how to love
       others, which most ignore.
       So in my long-winded answer.  We have to love ourselves as we
       want others to love us and how we know God loves us.  To do
       anything less is then not to spread the love of God.
       Just my humble opinion.

       No offense to you but sometimes I get tired of asking questions
       no one wants to think about enough to discuss.  To that point,
       last night my husband and I touched on this topic...we came up
       with we are to Love ourselves with humility...iow's we are to
       not only be humble but as in the words of C S Lewis, not think
       less of ourselves but think of ourselves less.  Likewise, we are
       to Love ourselves with a lavished Love.  This is an interesting
       one in that we are primarily talking about spiritual lavishness,
       as in study of scripture, prayer, etc.  But that does NOT mean
       we ignore the physical just that the spiritual is the focus and
       all too often we ignore lavishing ourselves spiritually in
       exchange for helping or "loving" others.
       Hopefully we will get time to talk about more.  Thanks for your
       imput.
