Love: Selfish or Selfless?

The angel and devil were contemplating on the nature of love -
"Being in love is selfless," said the angel.
"Being in love is selfish," retorted the devil.
"When you love someone, you live your entire life for those loved ones and not for your own self. You give up on your individual identity."
"All during your life, you love to satisfy your own need of being loved. Striving simply to satisfy a selfish psychic drive."
"When you love, you take up the responsibilities of those you love."
"As you love, you limit your responsibilities to only those you love."
"You have never experienced true love, that's why you know not what it is."
"As if you have experienced, true love is only a perspective, never in existence."
"Come, fall in love, discover how the self looses itself in the universe as does the drop in the ocean."
"Come, fall out of love, discover how the self was blinded by its assumptions of the horizons of the universe."
