Lines: 17 Love is doing what's best for the other person even if doing so hurts you, or isn't the best thing for you. Being "in love" is looking out for your own best interests, only. Love is caring, nurturing, hugging, encouraging, as you would a flower, love is accepting someone despite their faults, and doing your best to help them be the best they can be. Being "in love" is being dependent, getting your needs met by another person, or only accepting the things in them you like. Anyone can "be in love with" a movie star or other idol, but that's just want, need, desire, possessiveness under the guise of love. Love is giving your life force to others, helping them how you may. Sunny -- {ucbvax,decvax,ihnp4}!sun!sunny
