To love for love.

I'm not sure what compelled it, but a mini-rant came forth in a comment today. I suppose I should jot it down for the books, because I flatter myself into thinking that it's got some merit for me to remember.
Seen here, but I think for deletion's sake I'll have a plate of copypasta.

Apparently, I cannot love someone. They seem to want a reason as to why I want to. The answers of "I just do" are never good enough. To me, anything beyond that is just greed.
And what is sex? To them, it's vile. Yet they lust after it in need of new hosts, like a parasite. To me, it's a spiritual bond with the person you love, that's all. It's to show them how much you care, and how close to their heart you want to be.
People just used me.
Naturally, this sparks the cogs. A few shots off the white and gray matter, and here we are, finding how to explain what's difficult to explain by proxy.

To believe oneself, in human or furry nature, to have anything but greed, is pride. Pride, to me, is greed's ugly cousin Freddy. It's the same damn thing with another name and a simple face. Pride conceals the greed of the mind for attention, and when one is overly prideful, constantly ranting on about themselves, it's the greed for attention from others and the want for love that drives them. This is the means of everything in moderation, of course.
Wanting to be loved is not a sin. Believing that wanting love for love's sake alone is a reality that hasn't been foreseen. The very process of love, or trying to explain love, is equated to the amount of feeling, respect, treasury, affection, and needs fulfilled that one receives from another without question. This, by its very core, makes one greedy for a little more of that "full" feeling. Wanting to be loved is greed, my dear. No matter how you try to justify it with self-righteousness. Those in relationships don't want to give up those they love because they have a kinship with that person, and because that person fulfills a need.
Sadly, this is the factual and overly logical way of looking at love, very unromantic to think of, but something I think even the real romantics inside us need to grasp.

food for thought served at least.
