I found out/decided long ago that love is something you *do*. It’s an activity, a calling even. Sure, there is that great feeling of being filled with love; and there is the nourishment of feeling other people love me. But most of all love is what I do with all other people. I can’t claim that each and every person always gets a full dose; but it is the magic penny that pays forward. And loving people who hurt you is the best kind of ‘revenge’. It just might be a seed that will change them.
Word to the wise … and the doubtful. You don’t have to be filled with love for someone to love them. It’s an emotional muscle. You never wait for them to love you first. And really beware of using love as a reward for people who please you (and hate as a ‘punishment’.) Love because it feels good to love, and because it works.
