This should get you thinking. For the 'love apologists' who have been taught that 'love is a feeling', some magical swooning goose-pimpled, heart warming emotion that encapsulates you towards someone, I bring you news. You have been deceived. That is not love. The emotion is rather an offshoot of love. But love itself, NO!
Love never fails.
You see, surely if love is a feeling then it'll last right? For every emotional attachment you've had and lost, surely that betrays the immovable truth that love is a feeling. If it never fails, then it's not an emotion.
Love is a decision.
You choose to love someone or something. Your 'love' towards and for the object is a decision you make. Inspite of glaring wrongs, hurts, disappointments and the loss of feeling for that person, your choice and decision to love this person is what makes love remain. It holds unto the fact that it is all about the 'doing'. This is why Love never fails.
Love is the greatest of all.
This is predicated on the fact that love never fails. That love is a decision. That love conquers every ill feeling, every emotional attachment lost. Love believes the best of its object. When love is in force, nothing else matters. Because you choose to love, you choose to win.
Love is a verb.

If love is a feeling, then I definitely don't feel that way 24 hours in a day (lol). But if it is a choice, then I give my self to LOVING 24 hours.
I loved this --> "The emotion is rather an offshoot of love."
Expertly written. Thank you indeed.
Spot on!
P.s: if I don't love anyone, does it mean I'm idle and undecided? Lol, just kidding.
@funkola perhaps it does. Ok I'm just kidding as well. Thanks for reading
