Love operates with determined politeness. Love seeks not its own. The meaning is, love does not pursue its own interests. Love is not selfish. Ours is an age of woeful selfishness.
Love thinks of others and seeks to serve.
Love is not quickly provoked. Some folks are cocked, just ready to explode. Their day is ruined if someone does not provide the opportunity for them to give a piece of their mind. Genuine love does everything possible to avoid combat. Love takes not account of evil.
