From a neuroscience perspective, the object I love, devote myself to, and sacrifice for is an ‘extension of myself.’ The brain is inherently selfish. Selfishness is a necessary emotion and attitude for survival. Only when I exist can others exist. Yet, we often see people making sacrifices for others. How can I love someone other than myself? What I dedicate and sacrifice for someone is what my brain perceives as an ‘extended me.’ Ultimately, loving others is an extension of loving myself. Therefore, self-love becomes a foundation and a tool for loving others. If ‘self-love’ is healthy, then loving others is healthy too. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Humans probably may use less than 5% of the function of a human brain in their intention. If easily these senses of pleasure, hallucination, or pain can be used or our intentions control memory circuits, human beings will be destroyed themselves. It’s very great luck to be uncontrollable at our discretion. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts"
