Love is illogical....always has been, and always will be. You can justify the sacrifice it requires in any way you choose, but it does not change the need to give. Just as with all things in this life, we must give to recieve...and Love is the ultimate example of this reality......it may feel wonderful, but it is by no means free.
That said, Love is also a huge risk, and it WILL cause you pain....personally I see the pain as a part of the complicated emotional state we call love. The work, and effort that goes into this state usually gets compensated by the warm fuzzys inherent in the relationship...but not at all times, and not in all cases.
In short...love is a roll of the dice.
