I was reading someone's blog today and she brought up some interesting points...
"We first learn to love those we see, but it is a selfish love. We love them for who they are to us, what they are to us, and what they do for us."
"our appreciation is for how that person relates to me, myself and I. Whatever love we learn for others and express to them, we cannot love others simply for who they are apart from us"
She's right... we're so selfish. We only love because of ourself, because of how others benefit us. Maybe a girl falls in love with a guy for no reason other than how he makes her feel. I'm not saying I actually think this is so, but there's always that chance. I want to learn how to love selflessly, but it's really hard to not use people.
