Summary

This quote suggests that expecting or demanding to be loved is an arrogant assumption. It implies that love should not be seen as an entitlement or something that can be demanded or forced upon others. It highlights the idea that love is not something that can be controlled or dictated, but rather is freely given and received. Therefore, expecting or insisting on being loved is seen as an arrogant and self-centered behavior, disregarding the fundamental nature of love and the importance of reciprocity and genuine connection.
