Action over feelings

[image deleted]We can go wrong thinking love is just some feeling or romantic idealized sensation.
Feelings are fickle and always changing.
The action of it is the real stability.

Actions always speak the loudest . The amount of effort is directly proportional to the amount of love that motivated it. 👍🏻😉

@TexChik Well said! In total agreement. Feelings won't sustain if action isn't there

I agree.

Even so.......
Where there are deep feelings there are frequently consistent actions.
And actions may (only may) feedback with our hearts.
So yes, facts over subjectivity IMO.

But (but, but)...
IF this feeds the mainstream fraud of to love versus being in love (when about relationships) THEN I say bs.
Have it if you choose to.
Stability over passion.
The weak maladie of our culture, dualism.

So, with my full respect for the ones that think otherwise.....
If only one of them ("facts" / "feelings") is all what there is, I would stay alone.
And would loose nothing of some value.

@ElRengo Interesting reply, thanks. Yeah I know love is also felt, but it's way more than just a feeling. Specially surface feelings like those of high school infatuations and so on....
Committed genuine love has actions that carry us through all else.

I gess we are saying near to the same seen from different perspectives or hope so.

Yes. there is some risk to call love to a high school infatuation, it happens and it use to end badly.
And love is, you are right, way more than just a feeling.
Even so there is a symmetrical risk, at least as inmature (though socially validated) and sick as the above.
To call love, the one specific between patners, to domestic, family love.
Which is good, but not at all of the same nature.
And when this theorized fraud takes the place of the other kind of love it´s not worth it´s name.
And for my hopes it also ends badly even and perhaps specially if it lasts.

My own view is, both or none,

All blessings to you.

I believe love comes through in the little things someone does for me or around me.
Asking me how I am, remembering the things I like, or said, taking my feelings into consideration, etc.
Anyone can love bomb someone and make temporary grand gestures out of what they call 'love'. But history has proven time and again, grand gestures have an expiration date even if real, little acts of love are long lasting. They give you that feeling of comfort and home, and safety.

@SW-User Well said.
Grand gestures and love bombing is always a temporary thing. I see it as more an immature infatuation that is given to seduce.

Agreed! If someone is being rude or talking to you disrespectfully then turns around and says “I love you” bullshit you do…Foff!

Actions speak much louder than mere words. Communication us important in love but without action it becomes meaningless.

If the feelings don't result in positive action, they aren't real anyhow.
I agree.
Love is as choice, not a feeling.

Yep I can agree with that👌

Love is a verb
SW-User
@SW-User Yep good point!

The truest form of love is when you learn how to live yourself first before trying to love someone else.
