Such is the same as giving love to someone who doesn't deserve your love. Sympathy and pity are not love. To selfishly love someone is caused by that person giving you a reason to love him or her. Being with that person profits you, and your love profits them as well. You have more value than any other person and I would not sacrifice you for anyone.
Love is too precious to offer indiscriminately.
It is an exchange between two people for either emotional, physical, spiritual or intellectual benefit, or a combination of them. Happy Valentine's Day. Ka Leo welcomes your questions and comments.
