“Those friends who show affection but are self-absorbed at heart are not friends in the truest sense. They simply play a part in mutual self-interest. They would never show their love unless there was some profit they could take advantage of.

Such people may be parents, friends or saints, but you can tell that they are truly friendly and wish everybody well. Still others don’t or can’t give back the love that they receive. They don’t love friends or kinsfolk—what to speak of enemies. Such people might be self-contained, in spirit or in wealth, ungrateful, or just hateful toward those better than themselves.
