“I love you” is shorthand for “Your happiness means more to me than my own.” That’s noble. It dignifies not only the beloved but the lover. For the depraved, however, “I love you” means, “Too bad if it’s not in your best interest, I see in you someone who might further my own ends, so I yearn to use you.” That’s animalistic. It degrades both parties. Having such an attitude guts a person, turning him into a hollow shell.
