Answer:
Explanation:
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
