Love

It's really disgusting when people who are verbally and physically abusive talk about love as if they know what it is and what it means.

Love is not name calling and yelling. Love is not hurting and hitting.

Love is not using someone for companionship, attention, or sex.

Love is caring for someone's physical, emotional, and spiritual needs - not the high from having a good time, or a nice chat. (Of course you may have a good time and a nice chat with someone you love.)

How can a father say he loves his children when he spends money on phones, tickets, alcohol, other drugs, or whatever, instead of sending it to help feed, shelter, and care for his child(ren)? Isn't putting food on their table and a roof over their head his responsibility too? What does that say about the love he has for them when other things that he wants to buy are a higher priority for him than that?

Love does not lie, deceive, and hurt and then refusing to do whatever you can to rebuild the trust that's lost from that. Trust is an important component of love. Once that is damaged, it needs to be mended and rebuilt. How is that to happen without sacrifice and effort?

Love is not selfish. And you are.
