Is love a weakness?
Love can be used against you. People kidnap family members all the time for ransom. Now days in the U.S. they kidnap pets now. Or they claim to have your pet and force you to pay money to prevent the pet from being hurt.
I can't help but think love is a weakness.

Let's discuss why you're nuts. Are you nuts? Yes you are.
Discuss.

Let's never love so that you never have to pay ransom.
I would never pay ransom on my pets. If they wanted my dog so badly, they can have him.
Of course, if they ever let him off his leash, he would try to find his way home. 
One-sided love is a weakness. Except for artists and poets. But to have love shared?

to borrow something from the matrix... love is both a great strength and a great weakness.

Requited love is a great strength for those who have it.

love is a weakness.
however, it's a weakness that i'm proud to have, because in exchange for opening yourself up to great vulnerability and hurt, the strength you can have returned far outweighs that.
in copenhagen, there's a great line:
"i was born a mathematical curiosity/not one, but half of two".

Love is a weakness because none of the fun sing along song lyrics are about love 
I Crush Your Bones I Kill Your Face
I Rip Your Flesh I End The Chase
You Meet With Terror You Draw The Ace
I Rule The World The Rats That Race
My Strength Is Hatred Torment And Pain
Hatred
With Heart Filled Hatred Black Blood Runs Through My Veins
Hatred

Dependence is a weakness, not love. Love is a strength as it is the best basis of social solidarity, which is the most important advantage of humans over animals. Plus, shared love is essential for an overall well-being.

Hey, peace to you Skanky. 
You'll find someone who will make you forget about your fiancee.

I suppose in theory you are supposed to love yourself
how do you know if you actually love yourself?

Ask yourself and see how you respond.
