Erich Fromm "The Art of Loving"

It is improper love to give and see it as a sacrifice. Proper love is giving just for the sake of giving BECAUSE giving is rewarding and NOT a state of self denial.

If to give something so much is causing one a state of self denial, then it's improper love and misguided.

How can one properly love if they lack the capacity to actually give and share themselves with their fellow man?

Being self serving isn't even close to being honest, ethical, or fair.
