I always thought love was all about feelings. I always thought it had to do with responding to an act of kindness, appreciating a good deed, reciprocating an expression of love from another....albeit, I realized I was mistaken.
I have learnt that love is not about feelings, it is about actions. Love demands sacrifice, love demands putting the needs of others before yours. Love demands that you go to any length to ensure that those around you are not struggling when you have enough for self and even for squandering.
I have learnt that love is not about pointing out the wrongs others commit, it is about reminding oneself each moment that every human on this earth is unique in his/her own way. It is about spotting the weaknesses in others, but slowly and patiently helping them overcome these weaknesses.
I have learnt that love is about making a commitment to make the lives of others better. It demands giving up our 'limited time' in order to make a difference in the life others...to help those who are still crawling to get to walk...to help those who are crouching to stand strong and tall....to help those limping to get to walk majestically.
I have learnt that love is making every little effort count towards ensuring that this world is a better place for all who live in it.
I have learnt that love conquers ALL. Love is the greatest. (1 Cor 13:13).
I have learnt to love!!! :)
