Love God is the first, and Love thy neighbor as thyself is the second.

I emphasize the word “Thyself” in the second commandment. I actually like the paraphrase by the Sufi poet Rumi of the second commandment. “Life is about finding and removing the obstacles to Love within thyself.”

I remember in a Bible study discussing that Jesus told us to love our neighbors on the same level as ourselves. Not putting others above ourselves. On the same level as ourselves.
