These Things are True- 20

20) Love is a behavior, not just a feeling. Love is a behavior that puts the other person’s best interests above fleeting feelings. For example, we all have moments where we dislike someone we love. Who hasn’t been there? I know I STILL am! Some people base their concept of love on the feeling. If everyone based love this way, then love would have no value to anyone but the person WITH the feeling. Perception of love as a feeling is a selfish act, and it serves no one but the person experiencing the infatuation. In my opinion, there is nothing as satisfying or hard to achieve as REAL love. It requires commitment, thinking outside the self, and occasionally yeah… some BIG sacrifices. Feelings come and go. Real love is in the ACTION.
