Being willing to compromise and support our growing differences are vital. Discovering love and respect within yourself is neccessary before you can ever begin to truly love an respect anyone else. I cannot enter completely into your thoughts and feelings, nor you into mine. I can appreciate your joy and sorrow, but I can never really know it as you know it. I can only approach your feelings.
True love is patience.
When you love someone, you do not give up easily on that person. You must put up with the other person's faults and imperfections, while recognizing that you are far from perfect yourself. True love is kind. Your understanding smile, your warm embrace, and your tender touch ar kindness. To be kind, you cannot just go your own way, generous, open, hospitable, warm hearted and gentle are the paths.
