You may, of course, feel an intense romantic excitement for someone you meet. You cannot love someone you do not know. Love grows gradually, going beyond mere sexual attraction to include a balanced understanding and appreciation of the other human being. It goes deeper than feelings alone. Love is unselfish, a willingness to share.
Genuine love is an attraction to another's inner beauty.
It is not superficial, but soul deep, a union of soul mates. They find happiness in helping to bring out what is best and most beautiful in each other. Just as our inner beauty can keep growing as long as we keep working at it, so too our relationships of love can continue to grow and enrich our lives, provided we continue to value and work at them. Sometimes, in the heat of anger, people kill someone near and dear to them. Their rage blinds their reason.
