" Anyone who loves in the expectation of being loved in return is wasting their time. "

Expectations can not be fulfilled of any person by anyone in this world. You must live life without having any desire from the outside world. If you love someone in the expectation of being loved in return then it's mere waste of your time.

Just because you love someone, does not mean they will also do. You can like someone's quality but you can't expect the other person to like it back. Love is not a relation of giving and taking back. There is no business or relationship in love, it's the purest form of feeling that can just be experienced selflessly.
