What is the definition of love? The dictionary says love is a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. Some would describe it very different. Some believe that love is a way of tricking people to do as you would want them to do. Love is caring, understanding, compassionate, unconditional, and so many other things. The bible defines love as patient, kind, not envious or jealous or being proud. But somehow, people tend to describe love as just that, envious, jealous and being proud. When loving someone you must not be proud, you must put away your pride and become human beings like woman to woman and man to man. Thurman says that a lot of people are held back because of their pride, not willing to humble themselves.
