    Put your money where your mouth is: the definition of love that makes sense.

    ¹

    Love is a beautiful thing and everyone deserves to be loved. Love is a common language spoken by everyone. Love itself is a language understood by virtually everyone. No one can resist love especially when it comes from whom we have likeness for.

    In a broader perspective, the foundation of the world was made with love, hence love makes the world go round, and with love, the world exists. Where love is absent, hatred, disunity, and death exist in abundance. Therefore, it is love that binds the world together.

    Every loving gesture must come with a corresponding action. Love is a practical term. To love means to show working. Loving someone is not by word of mouth alone but with action and those actions may include giving them gift items and showing affection and care.

    One of the things to differentiate true love from fake one is that true love comes with action whereas fake love ends with word of mouth. This is a very solid principle of love. Anyone who claims that he loves you, yet finds it difficult to give such a person is lying. There is always a compelling force that pushes people who love themselves to buy gifts for each other.

    I don't know any love language as powerful as giving gifts.

    Types of love
    People classify love into different types like Agape love, filial love,
    Eros love, mania love, philautia love, storge love, and the rest. No matter the classification, love performs the function of unification and oneness among the people. Another classification of love is in the attributes that love carries. For example, we may say that love can be real and love can be fake. Let me make a point clear here that there's nothing like fake love or genuine love. Love in its purest form is genuine. Anything outside that is not love but hatred. When love deviates from its original standard then it's something else but not love.

    characteristics of love*
    Having established that anything that does not portray love in ideal standard is not love but hatred or something else. Now let's briefly look at some of the characteristics of love.

    love does not hate Any iota of hatred is not part of love. Love covers all mistakes.

    love is kind kindness is associated with love. Any love without kindness is fake and not love at all.

    Love is patience love endures. Where there's love, there is patience.

    Truthfulness is love Where there's love, there's truthfulness. You tell the person you love the truth all the time. This is where sincerity comes in.

    love harbors no evil Every thought of evil is defeated in love, hence anyone who loves but does evil is not true but a liar.

    Notwithstanding, whenever someone approaches you with many words of love, look out for these characteristics and if any is missing know that such a person is not real.
