Do you recall this little reciting while plucking the petals from a flower?
He loves me, He loves me not. He loves me, He loves me not. He loves me, He loves me not…
The couplet is repeated until all of the petals are discarded, and the last line spoken shares the "true" statement. A cute and silly ritual, usually connected with lovesick adolescent girls.
So what about turning those words into other statements:
I love me, I love others. I love me, I love others. I love me, I love others.…
