Love is not so fickle a thing as to be quantified as a feeling. Love is to be carried out as a self imposed duty on behalf of those we love. It does not ebb and flow like the sea. It is dynamic in the way it makes you feel, but steadfast, diligent, and static in its responsibility. Love carried out by feeling, without duty, in a dishonorable way, is the ruin of man. But when carried out dutifully, respectably, and selflessly, is love in its finest form.
How often do we hear of people falling in and out of love? How often do we see family members acting shamelessly towards one another? Why is it that man is so base as to act on the first feeling that comes to mind without regard for their fellow man? I think that as a whole, people think of love in terms of feelings, and not in terms of duty. If anything love without duty isn't love. It doesn't matter how much someone says it, if they don't act accordingly it isn't real. Respect and duty make up the foundation of love. We should teach our families how to love, and stop feeding them romanticized garbage about feelings. We all know what kind of feelings can come from love, but unless we show them that its something we do, then its something they may go a whole lifetime without learning. Anyway, your own thoughts and comments are all welcome.

It had a lot of potential for a really good discussion.
