4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. 5 Love is not rude, it is not selfish, and it cannot be made angry easily. Love does not remember wrongs done against it. 6 Love is never happy when others do wrong, but it is always happy with the truth. 7 Love never gives up on people. It never stops trusting, never loses hope, and never quits. 8 Love will never end.
In the above list where do you see anything you mentioned listed?
You don't have the monopoly on the right definition of love. From my perspective, I suspect you are missing something that would make you really love others.
As for the Bible, that's just words what you quoted. Even Saddam Hussein wrote a letter of love once. What about the action component of love expressed in the Bible?
Which again, goes to only support my initial assessment. If you are looking to modify by adding or removing elements from this definition to validate you own expression of love, then you do not know what love is..
What you all seem to be miss arguing is, that I am not saying your love is wrong... just not complete. You think your version of puppy love is what makes the world go round. I'm said it's maybe just a little deeper than you understand. Not that i can swim to the bottom, but I know for certain it is a sight deeper than you guys think it is because i 've been deeper than what you all describe.
For instance you are asking about the action component of love. The 1 cor 13 verse starts out Love IS... which denotes the following list is a list of action, (Love is A and is not B, Love Xs but does not Y) but you evidently do not see the list as being active, which again indicates your understanding of the word is limited. Which is why you are looking for action in a list of action words... (Because your understanding of said words means you do not see action in the list.) If you do not see a list full of action and how those acts pertain to love then your understanding of said love is limited...
