Self-control is a muscle, love is the reverse

The more one uses a muscle, the more depleted it gets; it can only go so far. The abandonment to love is the soul flowing downhill; the more energy is exerted the stronger it gets. Momentum is gained, not lost.

"Love illuminates the difference between giving and receiving but it is not so simple as being now directly the giver. As Montaign said, “The person who allows a friend to give a favor is doing the most favor. By giving the friend the pleasure of being able to give that favor.”

The more one uses a muscle the stronger it gets. Muscles that are not used atrophy, fat build up and the body becomes flaccid, circulation diminishes, and the overall heath of the body declines.

The overuse of emotions cause misunderstandings, hypersensitivity, over reactions, and neurotic behavior.

Love can be destructive, constraining, and enslaving. Love for some is addictive, the chemicals released in the brain are the same produced by cocaine, alcohol, and a number of other addictive chemicals. Storybook love is not reality. Those that believe in storybook love are setting themselves up for disappointment, a life of lies, and pain. Realistic love is t***h, mutual respect, and does not come with an "or else" clause.

Giving, to include favors, has to be carefully considered. Sometimes doing what another wants or providing a service is unhealthy and unwise. The act(s) must be weighed with the potential outcome. For example, one can do the favor of providing shelter for a friend. Sounds reasonable, unless that friend is running away from issues in their own home. Then it is not a favor because you are enabling that person to avoid fixing their issues and providing them with excuses. Favors always come with strings, the giver expects something in return. Often the one receiving the favor becomes dependent on you to continue to provide the service or favor in the future. This often becomes a burden and ends relationships.

So are you telling me that you run a marathon and your muscles do not tire, they just get stronger; their ability to function does not get depleted after rigorous exercise or hard work but perform better after a few hours?

Love, if it is love, can never be destructive, constraining, enslaving, or addictive.
