Love- A lifestyle

Love, its such a big word that amazes me when I hear people use it frequently and carelessly. The love I am talking about is not just the "I love you" a man tells his girl or a husband to his wife and vice versa. It's the love that is a life! It's not just a feeling.
It's pretty funny when you hear someone say "Oh I love him so much and how I know? Wow,the goose pimples I get when I seen him, then my heart skips a beat!" Hmmm...word! Not a bad feeling I guess, but the love I am talking about is not a feeling! It's a life. It's the one that forms a lifestyle, an attitude in you. It's the one that makes you look out for the other person, not because you have to, but because u WANT to. It's the selfless kind of living that makes you to put yourself at a risk for the other person's sake. The love I mean is the patience and kindness you show to the other person who doesn't care. Its the absence of envy, pride, jealousy. That thing that makes you unable to be rude, irritable, touchy and to hold grudge. The life that makes it difficult for you to even notice the other person's weaknesses and makes you never to be glad about injustice, but to rejoice over truth. The love that brings out the loyalty in you over another, even though the person doesn't deserve it. The one thing that makes you to believe in the other person, always expecting the best from him and standing your ground in defending him.
That, is love. The love that is a life. The love that forms your being. Just imagine everybody around you loving this way. Cool right? Well, I know you want to be loved like that, but it begins with you! YOU start loving this way and others will love back at you because whatever you want more of, you give it away!
