"The lesson, Gabriel," he says, "is that you give your love to those who will hurt you. You loved those humans, knowing that they would bear you abominations and that your brothers would have to destroy them. You loved the pagans, and the moment they found out what you were, they stabbed you in the back. Excellent choice there, brother. Even that little Hindu whore that you were so fond of wasted no time in shoving an angel blade in your heart."
How long will it be before Johnny does something that will hurt him, or the TARDIS? At least Johnny is mostly powerless in the face of an archangel; the vehicle has more power, could maybe do real harm if it so desired. Harm, of course, beyond the emotional toll of another betrayal.
"And the Winchesters, that you sacrificed yourself to save? How many times do you think they thought of you? They were barely even grateful for the fact that you died to give them a chance at locking me away. They were barely grateful for Castiel, and he Fell for them. Even if you had stayed around to help them, they would've treated you like they treated him-- like a dog, to come at their calling."
And this is why Lucifer can't help but look at his brother's relations with lower beings as anything but reprehensible-- they have always hurt him in the past. They will always continue to hurt him, just on the basis of what they are. They do not, cannot, and will not understand an angel enough to ever be able to return his love appropriately.
"Once is an incident, twice indicates a pattern, little brother. How many times do you have to burn yourself before you'll learn not to play with matches?"
