Love Is Selfish

“I think ultimately love (only romantic?) is a selfish thing. Love happens when a person of the opposite sex (here I risk being accused of being homophobic) comes along who satisfies all your expectations at the physical, psychological, personality, emotional, social, cultural, etc. level. So, when one’s needs seem to be met in another person we start loving that person because that other person can make us happy by embodying all that we desire.”—D. Samarender Reddy
