They say that love will take you higher, farther than you ever could have dreamed; towards unfathomable heights and away from unfathomable depths. They say that love blurs your vision in a glorious way, turns black and white into scintillating metallics. They say that love assembles an army of belief that convenes at its own will without prompting or incentive, and the army can conquer all, not just by a slim victory, but by triumph in immense disparity between the spoils of vanquisher and vanquished.
Perhaps most importantly, they say that love is genuine. Authentic as a first-edition, tore-worn series of playing cards, natural as rain comes in drops and not jagged pieces. Inborn and spontaneous, the way a laugh or smile or frown can unfold over one’s face when caught off guard. So I can’t help but ask then, if they say love is genuine, should it not lead to action? How is it that they say someone loves you, but their actions only place them on the opposite end of the spectrum, at the burning red banner of hate? Love and action hold hands, tightly; they are one in the same and have not the slimmest chance at survival, if in want of the other.
Never believe someone if they say they love you, but do bounds less than nothing in demonstrative testimony to their “love”. I wish we could attest love, the way they say love really is.

there's this great piece of light-hearted advice on love from the late CMU prof randy pausch. he said: ladies, when a guy is in love with you, it's really so simple. just ignore everything he says and look at what he does.
