The Need-Dislike Ratio

There is a need-dislike ratio that exists in all of our brains. It's something like this:
How much you like someone, determines how much you're willing to do when they need you.
Alternatively, how much you're willing to ask of a person also depends on how much you like them.
Hence, if you absolutely, jaw-droppingly, ground-breakingly adore someone, then you'll be there for them at 6 in the am when you haven't slept all night and you're in a different city and your brain is numb and your body isn't functioning, because that's just what you think they deserve.
And if you don't like them, well that extra five minutes of sleep goes back to being the most precious thing in the world. Similarly, you'd depend on someone in the first situation; in the second, you'd rather starve than ask for a crumb.

I don't know what the point of this post is. It's late and I should sleep.
