Oomis:

I think you are proving my point. Everything you just described has you gaining some benefit from loving someone, be it a tangible benefit, or simply feeling good about yourself. If loving someone would not cause you to have any good feeling, and you literally got no benefit in any way shape or form, would you still love people? If not then one could argue that love itself is selfish i.e. for your own pleasure.
