Added you Pauline 
Eliza, it was referring to Stefan's love for him. I should have brought that paragraph over as well, was so tired last night and not thinking straight.
Quote:
Damon’s love is the easier of the two to figure out. He loved Katherine and only wanted her -- and he was willing to do anything to be with her. He willingly drank her blood and wanted to die when he thought she had been burned in the church. Then, once he found out that she was alive and trapped in the tomb beneath the church, Damon made it his mission to find a way to release her from her eternal imprisonment. Astoundingly, in spite of everything, now that he knows she was not even in the tomb, Damon is still fixated on finding her. She is his obsession and his sole reason for living.
Ah, what we do for love. People say they would walk on hot coals for love. But when put to the test, would they really? The price of love might be too high. Love is a greedy emotion. Most pursue it for all the wrong, selfish reasons. Thus, can we truly say we love selflessly? Love can be the most selfish emotion there is. We will do anything for love. A parent will die for a child. A lover will kill to protect their lover. And in Stefan’s case, a sibling will drag another sibling into hell just because they love them. Stefan may have thought he was giving Damon a gift, but that gift came with an unbearable price tag -- for is an eternity of guilt worth living for? Does any amount of love make up for that albatross of emotion weighing down upon one every second of their lives? It is no wonder that Damon is constantly trying to inebriate himself with alcohol. His brother's love has crushed the life out of him.
Damon is both blessed and cursed all at once. And worse yet, in a world where the entire human population should be theirs for the taking, they are the ones being hunted down mercilessly and killed. It is their emotions being toyed with, played and manipulated. Frankly, now that the truth is known, one can sympathize with Damon and understand his rage against both Stefan and Katherine. Both loved him so much that they selfishly used him for their own ends -- and he cannot escape it. It is not enough to be cursed with eternal damnation; he is cursed with being crushed under their suffocating love. And there is a thin line between love and hate. The depths of Damon’s anger, rage and hatred are now revealed. It is not because Stefan forced him to turn into a vampire; it is because Katherine turned Stefan too. As Damon told Stefan, “It was just supposed to me, Stefan -- just me.”
