What is love?

How do we show it?
Surprising our loved ones with expressions, gestures, gifts.

Spouses pledge to love one another 'till death do us part'. Each has a responsibility to stand by each other. Whether the expectation is:
• pleasing each other with actions that the other expects ,
• providing financial need ,
• abiding by unwritten rules, etc

This is also true of parent-child. So if, these expressions of love are not in place, it can be read as an absence of love. Even a rejection of the others' love. etc

The Asian concept of fillial piety has been set firmly in place for thousands of years. So as a 'banana', a very 'yellow' asian look with a very 'white' outlook in life, what am i supposed to do? or be?

The question really is:
How do I love with a universal love? Unmistakable. Acceptable. Enough. Is it ever 'enough'

Why do I worry about whether it'll be taken the wrong way. Perfect love casts out all fear. Problem is nobody can have perfect love or express it except the One who is pure LOve! So, are we adequate? YES! Are we loving beings? YES! Do we want to express it? YES! IF others cannot understand what we do as love, are we still able to love and accept them? YES! Then why am I so disappointed when they don’t understand? Because I wish they knew how much I love them (still). That’s tough.
