Love is a word that will have different kind of reception in different hearts. But, if we fully understand what is love, if we all I mean, every heart would have the same kind of reception. The difference is just because the difference in perception of the word.
If you ask about love to a 5-year old child, that is, querying him by understanding him and his environment. The environment here stands for the people and emotions around him, again only the people and emotions around him and not his physical environment. Querying stands for noting him, like following him and, understanding means the act of realizing why the child is like him. Like identifying who is he. The perception of the child and a teenager, the teenager and an adult, the adult and an old would differ drastically, which is expected and common. To be frank, the meaning and the view of the word "love" shrinks on growing up.
Everyone, love and like themselves. Except those, with some kind of mental disorders. People love themselves because they like changes. And change is something that is born with us. Even born before us. One in a hundred million of sperm cell enters the ovum and brings a change. And we must never forget that we are one in a hundred million. The change doesn't stops there, the gestation period starts and the change kick starts as well. Change and movement aren't different sects of things, we move to change. If a newborn baby isn't crying it is a serious problem. Everything in this world deserves respect as much as it adapts itself to the change. "Adaptation and change", it is what 'Evolution' is.
Many of us would have the habit of seeing ourselves in the mirror, which is one of the best examples of love towards ourselves. Identifying ourselves in a mirror is one of the 'stand out' traits of human being, which we share with dolphins, elephants, apes and magpies, a group of "highly intelligent animals". One month of exercise which results in one inch reduced belly fat, is a joy brought from change and a change which enhances the love towards oneself. Like people saying "Self help is the best help" one can surely say that "Self love is the best love".
