439. Appreciation, admiration and love

```

I appreciate myself not;

Therefore

I deserve more appreciation.

I admire myself not;

Therefore

I deserve more admiration.

I love myself not;

Therefore

I deserve more love.

But, since

I love not God,

I deserve no love, no admiration,

No appreciation, nothing,

Absolutely nothing.
