Love is an act, not a feeling. People think sentiment, feelings, excitement, OCD are love.
Love isnt any of those.

Love is shown in acts, by making a cup of tea for someone, giving them a hand if they fall down. There is nofeeling involved in doing these acts, they are just normal actions, decisions and following through. Paying for your childs clothes, education. Helping with homework. Fixing flat tires, doing the dishes. Feeding animals, making sure their water is topped up.

Anybody can learn to do these thingsfor other people, for critters. Even Psychopaths can do acts of love.

That is my version of love. There is no affective response or motive, these things need doing, I do them.
