Interesting, Mountain Ash:

Love and regard for humanity cross cultural and faith barriers, but the Bible tells us that true love comes from God, who is love Himself. (1 John 4:8) He is the Author of love.

So I believe God put in humanity the seed of love, and as we come to know Him better, we learn to love ourselves and also learn to love our neighbors as he called us to do.
