How can I tell if my love or friendship is genuine?
Real love gives, not gains
Love and friendship are not done to gain anything; love is done to give oneself to each other, from both sides. If you have to lose a lot, the friendship is bad.
Friendship is not made to gain something. Love is not done to obtain something. Love is done, by its nature, to give oneself away to one another.
