And without belief that you have an objective value, you cannot value those things to you. Any self love or self value you have, shows you believe you do have value. You may not love yourself as you are meant to or may love yourself in a way your not suppose to, but you know very well you have an objective value.
Eating for example your favorite food. You make go out of your way because the food let's say is not so simple. You do that because you believe there is value to who you are.
Do you believe dogs believe themselves to have objective value? As a dog may also travel further to get a desired meal. Or try to prevent itself from being harmed. Or form an attachment to another animal/person.
I personally believe I have value to me, in that I want good things to happen to me, because the good biological feedback feels better than the bad biological feedback. That's why I value eating a cake more than chopping off my fingers. The root of value is the feedback, which is a tangible thing I have to experience.
