Do we really love ourselves???

Do I really love myself?
This is a question which came across my mind some days ago when I was, tasting failure in the row.
As of now, I don't know whether do I love myself or not but one thing I am sure about is that on those days, I was hating myself.
Is the taste of failure so bitter that it takes love out of you?
Is the success really a parameter to say that I love myself?
Now, when I recall those moments, I find that loving oneself should never be related to how successful or unsuccessful you are. These are the things which comes and passes by in the journey of life. But still, for someone whose passion is success, what would you say about him? Has that person left the right of being loved by oneself, in case one tastes failure?
For such persons, failure creates a frustration and a feeling of hatred deep down their heart because they are never used to such failures and it creates more problem for them when they are on the verge of success and the chance just slips away. Really at this point, I think, everyone at least for a minute must have had thought that he is useless, his life is just a pile of bullshits, he is the biggest dumb in this world and what not. The negative feelings of the whole universe start playing game with the heart of that person. And it causes more pain when one has to put a fake smile on one's face because of social norms. These social norms really make one's life more like a hell, they just put final nail in the coffin. But still one say that one LOVES this society !!! Is it true?
Then who is making fool of whom?
Don't misjudge it with that one is getting jealous of others. But what does one need in such dire straits?
Now comes the point of inner love for oneself. If the hope, love, enthusiasm, ability to fight back remain unaltered for oneself, one can come out of that trauma. One thing that life has taught me is that nobody, believe me, nobody can teach one what one can teach oneself. So one need to love oneself even in the hardest situations, no matter what has happened. Life is like a cycle. It moves like the curve of sin x. One should never discourage oneself. Just love yourself to the fullest and power to fight the miseries will come from the innermost core of your soul and body as well.
