Is it love?

Someone gave me this advice once, "Never make someone a priority in
your life, when you are an option in their life. Relationships work
best when they are balanced". It's a good advice. And a person who's
sane will not ignore it.
But according to me, this is more of a barter exchange rule than a
relationship. Such a relationship lacks love. Love makes a big
difference to this rule, in fact, any rule, I think.
In love, you don't decide how much to give based on what you expect to
receive or actually receive. You just give without expecting anything
in return.
Some might think that it's plain stupid to love when you're only a
giver. Yes, it's stupid, i agree, and people who fall in love are
insane.

I've seen so many people fall in love. Atleast, they claim that
they're in love. But when their love is not reciprocated, they feel
hurt. They're heartbroken. Sometimes, they feel cheated because they
didn't receive the same amount of dedication that they gave.
Howmuchever they claim, it's not love at all. It's infatuation or
probably, possessiveness.
When you love truly, you wont get hurt. Because you'll give without expectations. You wont be disappointed because you wont expect anything back. And there wil be no regrets, regardless of whether the relationship works out or not.
So people, you're not strong enough to love. And the day you'll learn
to love truely, you'll be the happiest person. You'll achieve nirvana.
