Is it possible to be responsible for oneself without first learning to love oneself?

You cannot be responsible for yourself without first learning to love yourself; true responsibility flows from the abundance of self-love, transforming you into an inner emperor.

— Osho
According to Osho, it’s absolutely impossible to be responsible for yourself without first loving yourself. Society and religion divert your inborn self-love outward, creating dependence and inner poverty. Reclaiming self-love makes you an inner emperor—centered, overflowing, and capable of sharing rather than begging. From that inner fullness, real responsibility, freedom, and authentic love for others naturally arise.

You can’t truly take care of your life until you like, value, and are kind to yourself first.
