Freaked12:
We are very conscious of who we are. This is why we carry all kinds of complexes on our shoulders. We fail to understand that there is a reason for being who we are. This is why too many people live with self-hate. They don't like the way they look, the way they talk, the choices they make. They live with so much insecurity that their self esteem is way down the ramp. But we all have flaws. Mine are different from yours. No one is so dumb that he has nothing to teach. No one is so bright that he has nothing to learn. When we learn to accept ourself for who we are and why we are different, then can we begin to truly love ourself. You may be richer, brighter and finer than me, but you can't be better at being me than me. This is the consciousness we need to have.''''Motor Spa Tech

In my definition...
Accepting oneself > Accepting one's weaknesses, flaws, imperfections, and learning to cope with them.
Loving oneself > Appreciating and developing one's qualities, potentials, and talents.
Somebody is getting philosophical... ::) :)
