You "love" because you identify with it as a part of who you are.
Love of self is a difficult thing for very many people, but until you do, you are going to chase your tail in the material world.
Duality is an illusion built by the 5 senses. One of the best ways to displace it is looking into the eyes of someone who truly needs you. That connection of the eyes looks beyond the self for a fleeting instance. It throws physical laws out the window and joins two souls for a few moments in time.
Their pain is your pain. And you will do whatever it takes to help them. It might be an old woman who's fallen in the streets, or a loved one dying a slow and wasting death. But you'll do whatever is within your power to help.
Because you love.
Love is the ability to see yourself in something else.
