'Love is expansion and selfishness is contraction' is the famous line which has been quoted by our idol, Swami Vivekananda. He wants to convey that a person who loves is the one who has the ability to live. Also, he states that the one who is selfish is the one who meets death.

It is true that one should always spread love among all the people. Love can help in creating strong bondings and get every people by your side during hard times. However, for selfish people, they usually don't get help them as they only think about their own benefit and get their work done.

After the work gets done, these people forget it and hence next time onwards they need to fight their battles alone whereas people are also eager to help a person who spreads love and thus, he gets saved from many unforeseen circumstances and even death.

Answer:

       All love is expansion all selfishness is contraction

Jesus Christ, the messiah’s teaching is: ‘Love thy neighbor as thy own self.’ If the emotion of love were not so elevating, he would never have taught his followers to love one another.  

All great personages, philosophers, saints, and divine men and women have given the message of love. When we love unconditionally we expand ourselves. When we love others we actually acknowledge our own self in them. People who loved their fellow brethren and sisters have become immortal. Someone has very beautifully said:  

'It is in loving, not being loved

 The heart finds its quest;

It is in giving, not in getting

Our lives are blest.'

Selfishness or selfishness is the antithesis of love. A selfish man or woman always puts himself before others. He/she is always planning to grab things for himself or herself. Whenever a man or woman behaves selfishly, he or she contracts himself or herself. He cuts himself form others.  

Hence it is rightly said all love is expansion all selfishness is contraction.
