To become capable of loving our neighbour as ourselves, we have first of all to heal a wounded narcissism. We must constitute narcissistic identity to be able to extend a hand to the other… Thus: heal your inner wounds, which as a result will render you then capable of effective social action, or intervention in the social plane with the other. …We must heal our shattered narcissism our ability to identify with the other before formulating higher objectives.”

J. Kristeva
