Ever wondered, what is true love?
Love is more than the often used three words, I LOVE YOU!
Love is more than those sentiments and touchy feelings. Love is not a noun.
Love is a verb, it is full of action.
Those three words,"I LOVE YOU", in any relationship only have as much depth and meaning as the attitude to serve the beloved.
Love is less about romance, more about respect, because remember, romantic feelings are always in a flux, they are there today and not tomorrow.
Today you are in a great mood you have those romantic feelings.Tomorrow you are not in a great mood , you don't feel those romantic feelings.
And also an initial charm in any relationship, goes down with time.But respect for each other and respect for each other's individuality doesn't die down with time.
Feelings go down with time, respect doesn't.
And it is that respect not romance that becomes the foundation for all of our feelings, which can be sometimes be like an emotional roller coaster.
Love is less about my rights and more about responsibilities for your welfare.
Love is less about knowing the person and more about caring for the person.
Didn't someone say, I don't care how much you know, until i actually know how much you care.
A caring heart walks more than the extra mile to offer service to the beloved.
Love is a great blend of caring and daring.
Daring to stand up and accept the person completely, regardless of their faults and short comings.
Daring to practice the virtue of forgiveness and to be able to let go of the mistakes and the blunders, small and big in that relationship.
Yes, it's like the beautiful, colorful, fragrant rose, those emotional feelings.
But it is also like accepting the thorns that comes along with the rose, those weaknesses, those short comings, those faults.
Yes, love is all about complete acceptance, a package deal like a rose, beautiful in its color and fragrance but also coming along with a thorn.
