LOVE IS
1 min readJun 19, 2020
Love is massaging the backs of those who stabbed yours.
Love is giving sun to those who shade you
Love is lifting the people up who took you down
Love is speaking kindly to those who gossiped and rumored
Love is praising those who criticized you
Love is complementing those who condemned you
Love is smiling at those who frown at you
Love is laughing with those who have laughed at you
Love is hugging those who dream of strangling you
Love is giving love to those who gave you hate
Love is NOT an emotion
It is an action you choose to execute in the midst of hate.
