Life coaches tend to teach us about love, saying it is to give, give, give no matter what. As to this theory, I am with a grain of salt about its practice.

As many experiences manifest love is to give, but its practice does testify that we should do so within our will and ability. When you give beyond your will and ability, you must bear such a hope that the one who receives your love will do the same to you in return; however, it has never been the case, when things do not happen as you wish, you will repent loving so much to this person and gradually bear hatred on him or her, as a result, leaving your life miserable. It is avoidable if you know to love wisely and smartly.

Another possible situation is that the one to whom you give tons of love will make you finally realize that he or she is not worth your love. Yeah, it is true not a human would have that thing to own excessive love from another person, for we all are imperfect. Knowing a person takes time, it will always be the very latter stage of a relationship that you will get to know the real character or personality of a person, if you, in the very early stage of a relationship, have given excessive love to a person, you will take the risk of loving a wrong person because you have yet to know what he or she is, say, he may be a bad person; he may have many major defects in his character; he is not on the same page with you in many areas of life which will lead to quarrels or conflicts or problems that cannot be solved. Before knowing a person well, never throw your love into him or her lest you should sacrifice a lot without meaning. Never should we love excessively or even insanely; instead; we should love sincerely, truly, and moderately. Love is long water.
