Love God first and best. Love yourself next and well, and then love others.
Now love is not an either/or proposition: Either one loves only the self first and foremost, or forsakes the self and loves other first and solely. To only love others as the great collective is to embrace life of self-denial and self-neglect.
One then should love both the self and others, but the majority emphasis must be placed on loving the self first and most, and then loving others second and less.
Not loving others first and the most in favor of loving the self second and less is how it should be arranged for decent people.
The healthiest friendships and genuine teams are constructed out of primary self-love and secondary other-love per capita. To love the self first and foremost, as the primary love emphasis, is the duty and responsibility of every mature adult.
