Thank you very much at all of you for answering to this question. Jesire, I see you often answer also if you are in the opposite of my state of mind. But I' m very happy you do it. My thinking is this. Made an exception for the mother' s love that is unconditioned (like Fromm says if I don' t mistake in his fabulous 'Art of loving') I do really believe that we can love others no more no less of how much we love ourselves. Think about at if you agree with me and tell me. Always if you want, always if you want. Thanks.

I' m closing this answer and at last I want to say that for love others we must love ourselves, there is not another chance in loving. From this point of view the best answer should be the Shih Tsu' s one but I believe that he doen' t get angry with me if for this time I give the best answer to another answer. You are to philosopher to don' t understand my intent. O. K. Shaw must go on. Come on, come back at work. Our favourite work. Answering in philosophy.

It is indeed possible for human beings with the high quotient of emotions and sentimental values...... which is why there are instances of deliberate or spontaneous self-sacrifice for the sake of love...... however, these are of course extreme possibilities and not the norm.

Yes, I think it is, but that happens rather rarely. You can love someone more than you love yourself if you really have a strong relationship with them which is based on trust, and most importantly, communication and sharing thoughts and feelings. Also, if you know someone has done a really impressive thing for you, such as saving your life, you feel like reciprocating the love. I think the same goes for women who have children: they care A LOT about them, because they have put so much effort in the upbringing and they have dedicated part of their lives to providing these children with all they needed in order to have good lives. So I sort of think my mother loves me more than she loves herself, yet this seems to be rarer and rarer.

Yes if you truly love someone you love them with your heart sometimes even more than yourself.

It not only happens, it is not even very rare.
The woman who could leave an abusive relationship, and does't, loves someone, or some idea, more than herself.

It is common for parents of many varieties of animals, including humans to give all for their offspring.

I have made major sacrifices for others three times in my life, and they didn't produce the results I had hoped for. I loved someone, or some idea, more than myself, and what I had built up.

I believe it is possible. You hear the stereotypical 'I'd take a bullet for you.' and 'I'd die if you ever leave me.' Words are deceiving but if you truly care for someone's well-being and happiness, Then yes. It is possible. Kindness isn't just a way to get a cute girl/boy to like you, It's showing that you understand that there are things in this world bigger than your existence.

Yes, you can LOVE others more, consciously, in your frontal lobe, but deep down your ego loves YOU more than another. It has a sense of self-preservation that overrides love for another.

It is possible some people care more for family members and do not care well for themselves
2013-07-07 8:07 pm
If you're a mother it is.

It is possible, I love my parents and Gf more than myself. I'd do anything for them. It depends on how big your love is towards someone. That love being true love.
