Love is something that each and every one of us desires. We may deny it, but it is something which cannot be denied. Many feel as though they are unloved. Some are so desperate for it, and end up looking for it in the wrong places.
To a child, it is found in the protection by its parents. To a teenager, it is found in being is close to someone's heart. To a lonely person, it is the company of a stranger. To the homeless, it is found in the hot soup given to them by little old ladies who spend all night cooking for them. To the elderly, it is found in having someone to look after their needs.
The common thread among these acts of love is care shown to another person because one genuinely means it. Love is directed towards another person. It is against selfish desires. Doing something kind is not done with love if it did not care for others for their sake. Love is not an emotion. It is a spirit. "Feelings" of love is not love. One may feel in love, but not really love the person one has such feelings for. Love is action. It is kind. It seeks justice and truth.
