You always love people when they're sad.
Niane Crage 6 months ago from Philippines
Love is expressed as an action and experienced as a feeling. Yet, love has an essence that resists defining in any single way––it encompasses compassion, tolerance, endurance, support, faith, determination and more. Love reaches beyond romance and embraces us in all walks of life as we encounter one another and make choices about respecting and caring for each other.

Love is a verb - an action word. It means giving of yourself for someone else's benefit. If you love someone: TELL them HELP them SHARE their dreams ENCOURAGE them and on, and on, and on, and on.....! And it means that as you give you don't expect anything in return. Oh sometimes you'll get wonderful things in return but it is best not to expect to get anything. Actually, it's in the giving that we get back blessings in abundance whether the object of our giving ever says so much as a thank you.

Love exists if you let it come through you.

Should I love somebody? Off course yes, that is my duty.It is my duty to love even those who do not love me.
Eric 7 months ago from Arlington, Texas
Wow. Some of these comments make my stomach turn. Let me lay it down. True love is not "selfless" it is mutualistic, meaning it benefits both parties and that is what makes it work. True love is not unconditional. If it was it would have to be based on nothing. True love is based on the identity of the person loved and if that person changes so does your attitude towards them. True love is a reward for virtue, not a blank check on vices.
