Love Is...

“Love is one of those topics that plenty of people try to write about but not enough try to do.”

—Criss Jami, Killosophy

Love is feelings and emotions. But that’s not all love is. Love is doing and responsibility. Love is accountability. Love is action and love is being, all at the same time.

How Deep Is Your Love...The Bee Gees (Song - video)

I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You're my savior when I fall
And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
And it's me you need to show

How deep is your love, how deep is your love
How deep is your love?
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

Written by Barry, Maurice, and Robin Gibb

Three Unconditional Properties Of Love...Vera Nazarian

“Love is made up of three unconditional properties in equal measure:

1. Acceptance
2. Understanding
3. Appreciation

Remove any one of the three and the triangle falls apart. Which, by the way, is something highly inadvisable. Think about it — do you really want to live in a world of only two dimensions? So, for the love of a triangle, please keep love whole.” 

―Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

The Greatest Gift A Parent Can Give...George Bush

The greatest gift a parent can give a child is unconditional love. As a child wanders and strays, finding his bearings, he needs a sense of absolute love from a parent. There’s nothing wrong with tough love, as long as the love is unconditional.
