• They love thinking well of themselves; therefore, they love you as long as you feed that.
• Romantic love is based upon mutual praise that must crumble since no one but God can deserve praise.
• Your friend is your friend as long as they mainly feed your high self-esteem and not your low self-esteem.
• You might think that someone loves you, but what they actually love is your compliments that feed their ego.
• What passes for love is ego pleasure and what passes for hate is ego pain, but both ego pleasure and pain are based upon people as images and concepts and therefore are delusions.
