Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, in his book titled "Growing Each Day," page 230, has written that: "The Torah is
stating here a definition of "love": vea-havta, the sensation or the experience of love, is lereiacha kamocha, when
you wish for another that which you wish for yourself.
"What some people consider love may be nothing more than a self-serving relationship. They may "love" something
because it satisfies their needs, but when the object cannot satisfy the need, or the need itself disappears, the love evaporates.
"True love is not self-serving, but self-giving. We love only when we have as intense a desire to please the other
person as to be pleased ourselves. Such an attitude calls for sacrifice, because it may be that we will have to deprive ourselves
in order to provide what will please the other person.
