Love is

Riducle, shunned, imitadtion - fear of these things is not what love is;

love is the ability to be honest and open with those you care about

Repression and being demanded of - subjected to these things is not what love is;

love is the abilty to speak freely and without doubt

Cruel laughter, humilation and jest is not what love is;

love is that empathy for a life that is not your own

Embarrassment and a fear of displaying a closeness to another in not what love is;

love is those emotions that are easily and openly shown

Dispair, tragedy and delight in trodding upon is not what love is;

love is what creates hope and inspires fearlessness

Glee with hate, darkness, and depravity is not what love is:

love is what emodies a human being's best
