A PERSON WHO LOVES



P
eople learn to love. Love doesn't just happen. It doesn't appear to be an innate or inborn characteristic. The ability to love must be taught and is acquired within a social context. It is a skill upon which other relationships build.

A person who loves --

- has empathy for the loved one, meaning that the person understands and feels the feelings the other experiences, which are shared intimately;

- is deeply concerned for the welfare and happiness of the loved one. This concern is deep that it enters into the way a person patterns his or her daily existence. It affects how that person makes decisions and plans for the future;


- is not merely concerned about the loved one's welfare, but does something about it. The person who loves finds pleasure in actively working for the other's welfare. Time and money are given freely toward this end; and


- allows the loved one the freedom and independence to chart his or her own course in life. A person who loves is not possessive, but fully accepts the other's unique individuality. The loved one is free to act and become whatever he or she wants to become.


These characteristics of love apply equally well to parent-child relationships between old friends, and long-term partnerships between lovers.

This is God's greatest commandment--if we have faith and no love at all, we are nothing.

@ Karl Aaron,

Thanks! Start working on your Hanon. You are too young to be in love. Sumbong kita sa Nanay mo!

@ JayR,

"Love begets love?" It means if we wish to be loved, we must first learn to love.

Bay Martin said...

@ Monching again,

Yes, and love is endless if appreciated. Love is patient, A person who is sincerely in love is willing to wait!

Bay Martin said...

@ Monchet again,

Excessive attachments of jealousy can turn love to destruction. A sincere relationship is a great aid in removing the poison of jealous suspicion.

I know you are ... kaya laging maningning ang iyong mga eyes, para kang vampire na laging nadidiligan ng dugo ughhh!!!

Bay Martin said...

@ Ramonching,

Nahihilo ako sa 'yo and daming aliases!

Not only tulala, bingi at pipi pa in the name of love.

Bay Martin said...

@ Lady Bingkee,

Yes, since God is love, He is the answer to all our trials and tribulations. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear (Bible).
