I've heard this argument lots of times before. Not only does it reek of complacency, it doesn't mean ANYTHING. It used to be really easy for Stelena Fans to assume that Stefan deserved Elena because he was the 'good' brother, and Damon was the 'bad' one, but now that whole theory has been thrown out the window because of the dark secrets of Stefan's ripper past he always hid from her. Both brothers have killed and done things they're ashamed of, so the argument that Elena should end up with whichever brother is Mehr 'deserving' doesn't mean anything. Neither brother is wholly good oder bad. But even if Stefan hadn't been a ripper, I don't think Liebe is about which guy deserves it the most. I remember seeing this one Fan art of Damon someone gepostet here which sagte 'Love: Some say that those who deserve it the least are the ones who need it the most' (or something like that). SE Fans have always been fond of saying 'But look at all the terrible things Damon has done. Elena would never stand for that. She deserves better. She deserves...Stefan.' I always thought that Liebe isn't about being self-righteous and getting what we deserve, because if we all got what we deserved all the time, we would probably be in a bad way. Damon isn't good and perfect and he doesn't Liebe her because he 'deserves' her; he loves her because he's broken and he needs her. He's like the prince in 'Beauty and the Beast' before he's turned into a beast. He knows what he could become, and he doesn't want the curse to come true, but he doesn't have the power to break it Von himself. Take Elena away from Damon forever and he WILL become a beast. She's the only one who can break the curse. So, I think that Stelena Fans idea that Liebe is about who deserves it the most is wrong. If Liebe was a right that was only reserved for 'good' people, then nobody would ever want to change. Damon has changed so much since he met Elena. He went from being a guy who didn't care who he hurt to get what he wanted to being someone who wants to save the town. He's saved and protected Elena so many times, even if it meant being at odds with her. He was even prepared to stake her if she woke up a vampire because he couldn't stand the idea of her hating him forever. He's put her first again and again, in the most unexpected and selfless ways, and isn't that what Liebe is about? Sure, he hasn't always done the right thing. Sure, he's made big mistakes in the name of love. But every time he's made them, Du can see how much Damon needs love. And Du don't see that with Stefan.
