SELF-LOVE

​Amour-propre has been described as one’s own happiness and theorized a basic human necessity and as a moral flaw, akin to vanity and selfishness. It has adopted a more positive connotation through the Haight Ashbury eras of hippies and flower people, pride parades and protests. An increase in mental health awareness that promotes self-love as essential to self-help with support groups working to prevent substance abuse and suicide.
