We never get to love by hate, least of all by self-hatred.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that hate, and especially self-hatred, cannot lead to love. Love cannot be built upon a foundation of negativity and self-destructive emotions. True love requires compassion, understanding, and self-acceptance. To cultivate love, we must let go of hate and embrace self-love, as well as acceptance of others, fostering an environment of empathy and kindness. By rejecting hate and self-hatred, we create space for love to flourish and thrive.
