Personally I believe that love is quite like giving and taking, sometimes like a mutual relationship of benefit. Or at least, like this: When one gives someone something, usually they do it to see the other smile or so on so forth, which makes they themselves feel happy, therefore it is for personal benefit. The concept of selfishness is everywhere and in everything, even love, I believe. I do love my parents, though sometimes I question whether it's for my own benefit and whether I truly am someone who just loves for myself, or whether love is an invisible force which prevails over all, which seems preposterous, in my opinion.

If I don't really make sense it's because my opinions are conflicted and overly complicated. I've spent too much time debating with myself on the matter.
