The ego has always created a sense of inferiority or superiority, comparison and competition to install the two negative emotions: the illusion and the guilt. It has divided humanity into a society that opposes men and woman, blacks and whites, rich and poor etc. a society that creates preferences, injustice and hatred, the whole mix becomes an excess of pridefulness and self-importance tools of division, with a type of consciousness where you’re only aware of yourself and your situation, and nothing else matters.
The difference between self love and the ego: while self love is the emotion of loving yourself, it is done in a humble down-to-earth manner, as if you understand and accept the way your Creator created you, he created you with your two polarities, with your mind, body and soul. Self Love accepts this with peace and gratitude and often leads to being tolerant and caring towards other people. If you love yourself and fully accept who you are, you have absolutely no reason to feel jealousy or insecurity. But the ego drives some people into becoming egoistical and selfish with an inflated feeling of pride in their superiority on others.
Self love is the act of loving and accepting ourselves fully, all the things and details about us, in every way possible. To love ourselves is to accept ourselves fully and completely, our mistakes, our past, our body, our imperfections and life as it is today; it is to forgive ourselves to be able to make room for change and new opportunities. It is about accepting our two polarities in all man and women around us with their qualities and divine gifts. It is about accepting and respecting ourselves, and accepting and respecting the opposite sex. By rejecting one of them we reject a part of ourselves that makes us whole and complete.
Self-love is an act of faith, it is about accepting how our Creator created us in the first place
