‘Love is a verb’. There is a lot of truth behind that because love isn’t something you say; it’s something you do. It can also be a descriptive word for a series of sensations, feelings, and emotions, which can be misconstrued as the definition of love in both cases. Love has been a topic of interest among philosophers, writers, poets, and scientists for generations, and different people and groups have often fought about its definition. Still, the fact is love is what you choose to define it to be. In my case, love is that affectionate value system you have created for that person who is important to you and who is an object of your favor. There is this notion that almost everyone grew up believing that another person should be our dependable source of love, which is a gross misconception of the process. There is only one source of love: God or Spirit; whatever you choose to call it, it works from within going out, or others might want to call it ‘selflove’.
Most people believe that being in love is to receive; of course, that is just the other half of the process but, the beautiful part about love is giving. Allow me to use the analogy of a bank account in this regard; you cannot withdraw without depositing anything. Staying connected to the Spirit as a dependable source of love for yourself or ‘self-love’ will help you access it even from the people around you because that is the right way of depositing some love within. Once it’s enough for yourself, it is not difficult to give or receive it from others. This belief system about love thereby nullifies statements like,‘I’m incomplete without you’ because when you meet your partner, friend, or the next person, you’re not meeting as two halves waiting around to complete each other but as two complete people looking forward to complementing each other.
