Love and Emotions: The Cause and Effect / PART TWO

Love is Self-Sacrificial

What is love?

Most people will say that love is an emotional bond between two persons. This definition may be acceptable in our everyday lives but let us be clear, it is far from being accurate. Love is not an emotion. In fact;

1. Love does not grow or intensify through time. It is unconditional and it is to be given freely and abundantly from the very start. It’s not love that grows, it’s the affection;

2. Love does not come in various flavours to suit all your relationships. The love you have for your mate is the same love you have for your friends. Love does not discriminate. Love is the cause that creates an effect. It is the event that stirs up your affections and actions;
3. Love is not a reward you offer but an obligation you fulfill. It easy to love someone when they are kind, sweet, and respectful. But love remains standsfast when someone persecutes and disrespect you. It does not abandon;
4. Love is not about sex but about a moral commitment;
5. Love does not have an expiry date. It is forever;
6. Love is not limited to your selection of friends. Love shines its grace upon everyone;
7. Love is not a chamelion that changes with history. Love remains the same through out time;
8. Love never pauses. It is based on the works of edification. Building up is a perpeptual action;
9. Love never fails!
