what is Love
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Love means a lot of things to a whole lot of people. A lot of interpretations have been given to it. Some say it is the emotional attachment between couples, some say it is the feeling of care existing between people, etc. There are a whole lot of meaning given to it.

Well, I just want to give my own interpretation or should I say opinion of what love is. Love in actuality is really interpreted as giving. The right way in which love is expressed is by giving. When I say giving, that is giving of yourself to another. This giving could be in the form of:
· Your time
· Your resources
· Your advice
· Your friendship
· Your loyalty
There are a whole lot of aspects of yourself that could be given to express love. As I said before, love is giving. When you love you do so without an agenda. You love freely without expecting any repayment of any sort.

When you love, the things that are important or that matter to the person in question should be uppermost in your mind. When you love someone, you try your possible best to help that person achieve his/her desires or dreams. When you truly love someone, that person's happiness should be your happiness. That is why you should try in all ways possible to help that person attain that happiness.
If there is to be any reward for your efforts, it should be seeing that person happy; the person's happiness should be yours too.
This can be achieved only when you have a giving nature towards that person. When I say giving, I am not saying that you should be giving the person money to handle issues or problems (which is what most guys would be thinking I'm talking about) but rather I mean that you should be ready to give of yourself in different ways to make that other person feel loved and appreciated.
Also, when I say giving it does not transpire to the giving of one's body (sex) to the other. Sex has been a whole lot of times been interpreted as a sure sign of love between couples, but this isn't so. Sex is a means created by God to bond a husband and wife together very well, also for their enjoyment (pleasure), and also to produce children. It wasn't created to act as a sign of commitment or sign of love between unmarried couples.
When you love someone, you should always be on the look out to make sure that all is well with that person. You cannot be in love with some one and do nothing when you see that the person has a problem of some sort. You definitely will get involved in trying to find a way out of that problem.
When you love someone, you would make sure that everything you do would make that person happy in every way. You can't say you love someone and do something which you know would definitely hurt the person.
When you love someone, the person's feelings should be uppermost in your mind whenever you take a decision.
When you love someone , you respect the person and the person's feelings.
When you love someone, you anticipate the person's needs.
When you love someone, you put that person before yourself in every situation. That is you make sure that the other person's needs are met before you even begin to consider yours.
When you love someone, there are times you might have to deny yourself or your needs to help the other person get his/hers fulfilled.
When you love someone, you put that person above any other person. That person is second to none in your endeavors, in your plans, in your activities, in your everything.
When you love someone you give, you give , you give. Give of yourself to the person's benefit which ultimately would be to your own benefit too.
After all, God expressed his wonderful love to humanity by a selfless act of giving; John 3:16 in the bible- for God so loved the world that he GAVE his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Therefore, we who are creations of God should also express our love to others by giving of ourselves and not always taking or receiving alone.
Where love is expressed back and forth this way between couples; that is, between both individuals in a relationship there is bound to be a perfect balance and sure hope for success.

With Valentine's day already here, it is a time for us all to reflect on the value and basis of our love. Let us love the right way, let us make a decision to love our partners the right way by giving of ourselves to the benefit of our partners and ultimately to our benefit in general.
As I said before, the best reward we can ever get for our effort of giving of ourselves to our partners is to see that they are happy, fulfilled and satisfied because that would also make us happy, fulfilled and satisfied.
Happy Valentine's day to everyone out there. Remember,…. love by giving. It (love) is a wonderful decision to make.
