Basic Components of Love

Many have said that "Love is Blind" but Love is not truly blind, it sees but it doesn't mind.  From now many are afraid to love because they are afraid to be hurt, even though their falling in love to someone they quarel their selves for the contradiction they felt and ask why? why him/her?  what's on him/her i felt this way?, that seems i can't control and wanted these to burst... They've said when your inlove prepare yourself for its consequences, that the fact you may get hurt at such times because maybe affected by the life circumstances...Love expressed is when you give your attention, your time, your focus to someone. Webster defines attention as “the giving of one’s mind to something." 

What do you feel when you love someone? If distilled down to it’s core components, what would those be? Yes, love is an emotion, a feeling, a wanting, and a “being”. We know it feels good, but what specific feelings, wantings, and beings are present when we feel love? Here are the common denominators of love... 

 Basic Components of Love?

Love is Accepting.
Acceptance is labeling someone as "okay" and having no particular desire to change them. Who they are is perfectly fine with you. You pose no condition on whether you will love them or not. This is call unconditional love. When your love IS conditional, the moment they step outside your set of conditions, love evaporates.

Love is Appreciating.
Appreciation is one step beyond acceptance. Its when your focus is on what you like about another. We look at them and feel this sweeping appreciation for who they are, their joy, their insights, their humor, their companionship, etc. When someone says they are "in love" with another, they mean their appreciation is so enormous for this person that it consumes their every thought.

Love is Wanting Another to Feel Good.
We want those we love to be happy, safe, healthy, and fulfilled. We want them to feel good in all ways, physically, mentally and emotionally.
