You may give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
So then, the relationship of self to other is the complete realization that loving yourself is impossible without loving everything defined as other than yourself.
