Now that I say that I agree that self-love is not so vile a sin as self-neglect, I wonder if I was wrong. I think that a man who is in love with himself has more power, because he believes in himself. He can make himself appear invincible. A man who neglects himself is only hurting himself. He is just a selfish man who keeps his selfishness to himself. The self-loving man is also selfish. However, this selfishness can manifest itself in much more harmful ways. It can make him believe in his own power. It can make him want to be powerful over other men. It can make him become a tyrant.
