TRUE STATEMENT ABOUT LOVE

True Statements About Love
Some statements about love which I think are true: (Not necessarily in order of importance)
•    Love is not a feeling, but love has feelings.
o    A person who loves often feels the feelings (compassion) of the person he or she loves.
•    You cannot love if you reject the love of others.
o    You cannot love yourself or others if you reject the love of others or yourself.
•    You cannot love other people if you do not love God.
o    You cannot love God if you don’t think He loves you.
o    You cannot love others if God doesn’t love you.
•    Love says, it’s good that you exist.
o    Love says, it’s good that I exist.
•    Love comes from God.
•    God is love.
•    God loves you.
•    A person who loves should believe there is love in the heart of the loved one.
•    We cannot live without love.
o    We want and need to be loved.
o    We want to be loved, in particular, by the people we love.
•    We cannot make anyone (or everyone) love us.
•    Love is a commandment of God.
•    When someone loves us we tend to feel ashamed.
o    When we are ashamed we often do things that don’t look like love.
•    Love is often hidden under other things like self-righteousness and fear. When we clear away those things the love remains and appears.
•    Love moves toward people. [Paul Miller]
o    Love doesn’t leave people alone. [Miller]
Here is something I have been thinking about that is worth exploring: Love is like light. As per theories of relativity and quantum mechanics, it has properties of a wave and a particle.
