It's like veering of into a discussion about what exactly direction is, when the topic under discussion is about the choice between East and West... of course love of self destroys.
Just that Love is much more abstract than what is expressed in this thread.
Love of self is not the only form of love that destroys. The earth/sun and other astral bodies went beyond our petty paradox of self love and love for others and still can offer both creation and destruction.
My example about the earth was this, a form of love that transcend all of our owns can offer the catalyst of earthquakes and such because it is what other-selves require for their experience. It does so selflessly and not our of love of self.
This entire Octave is an exploration of the Thought of Love, I really don't get why it seems that this abstract thought would not be known and felt differently by each infinite being that moves through an exploration of it.
