When Jesus asserted that we should love our neighbors as ourselves, he was expressing once again the profound theological truth that our love for ourselves and for others is intimately connected in the intricate ecology of life. We cannot wisely love others until we know how to love ourselves — and do it! In the dynamic and interdependent fabric of life, our wholeness and well-being and the wholeness and well-being of others are indivisible. Indeed, we cannot achieve our vocation in life apart from one another.
