Loving, a forgotten Verb

I have been in love only twice, I may have met many interesting people and might have been in various forms of friendship or relationships with them. But I have come to realise that love is rare, and I am grateful for the 2 times I have loved.

Now the case talks about me loving the other person and it’s not about the intensity with which they either initiated loving me or perceived my love. Thus, being loved, being in love and loving are different feelings. If we understood that well, we certainly would not take love so lightly and will be more mindful of giving more efforts into our relationship.

Imagine how beautiful it would be if the two people in love have the immense potential to forgive the other, be self aware, and invest time in doing their inner work!

While encountering love is by design of the lord in heavens above, loving is an act and hence a verb and certainly a forgotten act in romantic relationships.
