Right on, Patsy.

As far as I'm concerned the only truly accomplished masters in the art of love are people who manage somehow to love everyone....and I'm NOT talking about having sex with everyone when I say that, needless to say. ;-D

Further to that, the one person I think we are all intended, first and foremost, to love unconditionally is....ourself! And I'm not talking about self-centeredness when I say that. I'm talking about genuine self-love and self-acceptance (in spite of facing the fact that one is not perfect and never will be). Out of genuine self-love arises self-confidence, generosity to others, kindness to others, helpfullness to others, high ideals, courage, and every positive form of behaviour.
