"Selfishness is the gateway to true love."
In a world that idolizes selflessness, the act of prioritizing oneself is often vilified. But could it be that healthy boundaries and self-awareness born of 'selfishness' are essential to cultivating genuine love for others?

Rather, in humility value others above yourselves." – Philippians 2:3 (NIV) This verse challenges selfish ambition while promoting humility, showing that self-care transforms into mindful prioritization of others through self-understanding.
