Why should we feel good about ourselves...

More than disliking ourselves?

I know intellectually it is good to like oneself because then we can give more when WE feel good.

(I was drilled though to never like anything about myself. That I was selfish).
But what might be some other reasons to actually like yourself?

We do the best with what we have. I guess I don't think in terms of "liking" oneself or not. I concluded that I do the best I can with what I have. I know that even THAT will not satisfy everyone, so bottom line is you cannot get caught up in that philosophical tail-chaser because there's no real way to prevail.
