Love is not boastful or proud Love doesn't show off or display a superior attitude. It doesn't see itself as better than others. It doesn't look down on other people and it doesn't create cliques that exclude others. Love is not rude Love doesn't display bad manners. Love is not self-seeking A person who loves is a person who seeks to put the needs of others ahead of their own.
Love considers the needs of others even before it considers what best for itself.
Love is not easily angered A person who loves is a person who doesn't fly into a rage. A loving person keeps their temper under control. Love is never glad when injustices occur, but is happy whenever the truth wins out. Just like a roof protects the occupants of a house from the wind and rain, love protects others from the things that would harm or injure them. Love has the faith to see and believe in the potential of someone else.
