I dare you

Define love.
Try and explain what you feel when you see those close to you.

Is the emotion difficult to describe? Sure. We just fall back on it- " He was so loving" "We knew she did it out of love." But what comes to mind when you say I love you. Do you give it any thought? Have you ever really recognized your love for something after saying it for years?
I think the bible does a good job;

" ⁴Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

It's all true right?

I think I've always seen love as simply such admiration and care for someone, that you put them above yourself and can not live without them. In that way, love doesn't always have to be between a couple-of course you can love friends and family.
Love is an explanation for caring about someone in that way. We look to love keep relationships together. It is worth so much.

Can love stop though? If it has stopped, was ever really there? If it always hopes for the better and perseveres than we should come to see what love actually is.
