i guess i'm confused. i didn't read the 59 (now 60) comments but aren't the things that you quoted just instances where love is concretely shown? i saw these as examples of the love, not the love itself
( ... )
yes i agree. emotion definitely is "part" of why we love them and "partly" the result of love. but only "a part".
the problem is that all too often, in fact almost inevitably, people fall into the trap of thinking that these instances or manifestations of love are the be all and end all of love itself. so many times ppl break off/divorce wadever simply cos of a rough patch or somethg similar dat prevents love to be shown that way. so wad happened to the "more than that" part?
i guess wad i'm saying is dat i do believe emotions are an important part of love. but not the foundation. and dat's wad i'm finding fault w in how it is practised today.
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5: 6-8
