Do you only deserve to be loved if you love yourself?

"deserve" or being entitled to anything is a false grandeur

Now, being fortunate and grateful for befitting such deed is something more realistic to aspire to

No. People who love themselves are narcissistic egomaniacs who think they are too mighty to accept the naked, brutal truth being shoved in their face the way I love to hammer it home. They feel it attacks their precious pride and it causes them to do all sorts of mischievous things. Why should they deserved to be loved if they behave like that?

Love is love, everyone deserves it.

And how exactly can you do that?
