Some I may find manipulative, some too selfish, objectifying, such as the way of love expressed in the Bible.You don't even know what love is...
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. 5 Love is not rude, it is not selfish, and it cannot be made angry easily. Love does not remember wrongs done against it. 6 Love is never happy when others do wrong, but it is always happy with the truth. 7 Love never gives up on people. It never stops trusting, never loses hope, and never quits. 8 Love will never end.
In the above list where do you see anything you mentioned listed?
You don't have the monopoly on the right definition of love. From my perspective, I suspect you are missing something that would make you really love others.
As for the Bible, that's just words what you quoted. Even Saddam Hussein wrote a letter of love once. What about the action component of love expressed in the Bible?
