Read the following, let it flow into your heart and your mind. Love is, above all, the gift of oneself. If you want to study love, study those who sacrifice for others, even for people who offend or do not love in return. If you are a parent, look at the love you have for the children you sacrificed for.
Love is a value that is actualized through loving actions.
Proactive people subordinate feelings to values. Love, the feeling, can be recaptured. You get joy from making your love happy. You have no interest in others who would normally attract you. When you long to be in your love's arms every second of the day.
