Someone will say, 'I love'...

"Someone will say, 'I love'... Yes, they love, of course, but do
they ask themselves about the nature of their love? Do they give
a thought to the fact that there are two kinds of love: the
self-serving kind and the disinterested kind? Disinterested love
does not expect anything from others, it does not fret, it does
not cling to them, and it does not trouble them. It is a gushing
spring, which gives ceaselessly without being concerned about who
will come to draw from it. It is pleased to share its water
freely, whereas self-seeking love does the opposite, as it acts
on others as a constraint, seeking only to take and bringing with
it impatience, disappointment, anger, jealousy and anxiety.
Disinterested love also avoids arguments, doubts and mistrust
and establishes joy, beauty and hope. It is a new life working
its way through, making people increasingly free, strong and
happy. It is the path of resurrection. So now, ask yourself:
which kind of love is yours? "
