LOVE

I think that both of these really does explain the meaning of LOVE.  I know there are tons of definitions - but these two, I believe, go hand in hand and give us an idea to build on.

Love comes when manipulation stops; 

when you think more about the other person 

than about his or her reactions to you. 

When you dare to reveal yourself fully. 

When you dare to be vulnerable.

Dr. Joyce Brothers, American psychologist

You never lose by loving. 

You always lose by holding back.

Barbara De Angelis, American researcher
