Sho Nuff is correct . . . . . love is being selfish and frightened. When you love someone 'more than you live yourself' you are really saying that you will be VERY upset if anything bad happens to them. Love is therefore a protection mechanism which drives you to protect your 'loved ones' through fear of loss. Love is fear-driven. You dont want to lose the pleasure that the other person is bringing to you so you tell them you 'love' them! What you are really saying is "dont leave me! I am selfish and enjoy the pleasure you bring me". Hence the expression if you truly love someone set them free.
Love is a very selfish emotion. Avoid!
