Love is the capacity to take care, to protect, to nourish. If you are
not capable of generating that kind of energy toward yourself- if you
are not capable of taking care of yourself, of nourishing yourself, of
protecting yourself- it is very difficult to take care of another
person. In the Buddhist teaching, it's clear that to love oneself is
the foundation of the love of other people. Love is a practice. Love
is truly a practice. [thich nhat hanh ~ Shambhala Sun March 2006 ]
