An idea from Nicomachean Ethics

A good person wishes a friend well for the friend’s sake, the way they treat themselves, since “his friend is another self”. So the good should love themselves, in the right way. The wicked can’t, because they are at war inside and run from their own company.

From Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle
