Love is a word that people use very loosely. What does it mean?

The bible says:

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

⁸ Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Regardless of whether you like the translation or not this resonates with me.

As a society, We are obsessed with love. Often It is self seeking, Boastful, and proud. Many of us dishonor it on an esoteric level and on a personal level.

It's about time we take a good look at ourselves and ask if we truly follow the rules of love.

Love yourself, love others, love those who hate you or hold contempt, love the world for the beauty it holds and love the world despite it's discrepancies.

Written with love
