Love is not about you, it never was. You do not love to satisfy your own needs. A selfish person has not felt, given, or expressed love in any way. Love is unique and personal. You cannot love different people in the same way. If that was the case then most actions would be accepted as love. There can be no love in ignorance, the lack of understanding of a person damns one's love.

The person who does not accept love is just as worse. This person is miserable and blames all others for it. In their selfishness, the love expressed by others is not in the way they see fit, and therefore they do not see themselves as loved. They give all that they have until all they have is a pit of their own misery. Priding in the fact that they gave their all, but too proud to get out of the mud.

They do sincerely love, but one cannot be loving by themselves. Love not given and received is not love at all. They sit in their pit longing for what they won't accept. They feel all the pains and hurts as anyone else who as given their heart away, but they do it without any of the comfort of others. This person is miserable; by their own accord. This person lacks all godliness. This person is a step away from not being human at all. The only god-like qualities they hold do not extend farther than their lonely pit.

In their misery they scream out for help only to reject the hand offered. How can one take so much pain? How could one let their heart shrink in a self-created pit of selfishness? The only pain comparable to theirs is the pain of the person offering their hand to lift them out.
