Definition of love

[Serveou]

I saw this thread and I immediately wanted to contemplate the meaning of love in my morning meditation. I do not think that I am a wanderer so I do not have an intuitive deeper meaning to give for love but here are some things that came to me during my contemplation.

Love is softness.
Love is kindness.
Love is acceptance.
Love is openheartedness.
Love is sharing.
Love is giving without expectation of return.
Love is caring.
Love is respecting other peoples freewill.
Love is forgiveness.

These came to me during my short contemplation. Might be pretty obvious to someone but I think it was good for me at least to contemplate love because sometimes love is taken for granted and it is good to remind the self what it takes to create love. This was also beneficial for me I think because I am a cashier at a local supermarket and I meet hundreds of people everyday with different backgrounds and worldviews. I try to include these in my everyday encounters with my other selfs.

You know, having that type of self-honesty and humility to say I don't think I'm a wanderer may be indicative of actually being a wanderer- if not ET, then maybe an awakened Earth wanderer.

Thanks for saying that! I just have this impression that wanderers most often experience these so called 'close encounters' and have some intuitive advantage in all things spiritual that I don't have. I did see a humanoid being standing at the end of my bed in one of my dreams (if that even was a dream) right after I had started seeking and I have seen some weird things in the sky that I thought were UFO's but I cannot confirm nor deny it. I have just always been interested in space and extraterrestial life and supernatural phenomena for as long as I can remember. But when it comes to these fancy spiritual phenomena that people experience I just feel that I can't relate. Whatever the case may be, in my mind love comes first or at least that's what I'm trying to practise. And I apologise for everyone reading this for going off topic.
