We all want to be loved; however, this comes from a place of selfishness because it's about what we want. WE want to be loved.
We expect others to love us, yet we don't love others. If we're all not loving others, then who will love us? If others are expecting us to love them, who will love us? If we don't love others, who will?
Love is when we seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. Love isn't about us, it's about others. If I seek to benefit you, then I love you. If you seek to benefit me, then you love me. If we seek to benefit each other, then we connect with each other in mutual reciprocal bestowal. Love is about connection in mutual bestowal.
In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
