Self Love vs Self Denial

In this discussion, Steve Gregg explores the conflict between self-love and self-denial in contemporary culture. He notes that the current culture tends to value and prioritize the self, as evidenced by the importance placed on concepts such as self-image and self-esteem. However, this self-focus can lead to negative attitudes towards others, such as resentment and hate toward those of the opposite sex. Gregg suggests that a balanced approach that incorporates both self-love and self-denial may be the most beneficial for individuals and society as a whole.
