Love is having the wisdom to know that others to learn better from their mistakes, and giving them the freedom to fail. Love is being able to still care deeply for another person, even though their actions lashed out to hurt you. Love is allowing another to retain their dignity at the expense of your own. Love is a commitment that you will always be there, inspite of the circumstances or things that have gone on before. Love is existential, and doesn't remember history.
Love sees each day as a fresh start toward something bigger and better for everyone.
Love is saying the words, and backing them up with actions. But it is more. Love is not only loving others, but having the humility and vulnerability to allow yourself to be loved. This at times can be the most difficult part of all. Our human pride is at stake when we show weakness.
