Your point in the question on love indicates a different perspective. Otherwise, every human being on Earth loves himself. Even an animal loves itself. This love is an impulsive instinct which comes with us at the time of birth.
However, I agree with you that to love others, I should first know to love me. That means I must know what pains and hurts me, same thing pains and hurts others. Likewise, what pleases me pleases others too. Unless I inculcate those feelings in me, I will not be able to feel others’ feeling.
