I loved your story! I read the Bible many times (... and I am still reading it. I feel that are great lessons to learn about human behavior there.) ... and I would say that the examples here are universal examples of human mistakes towards their families and others. One of the greatest examples of the definition of love can be found in "I Corinthians 13" and inspire us to follow those principles.

I personally feel that one must love themselves first and than love others, instead of love others more than yourself. I think one must be able to take care of themselves first because without self will not be others.

The question of loving yourself first will always be to draw that fine line to not confuse "love yourself" with narcissism, an exaggerated form of selfish behavior towards others and that is a sickness of human behavior.

Thanks for the story! I also loved the drawings and illustrations too! Sure is a great example to learn and follow.
