To Never Know

We say we love, but our actions say something else.  We say we love our children, but we don’t do what needs to be done to provide for their needs.  We say we love our communities, but our lawns are trashy.  We say we love each other, but our treatment of each other, our mates, etc., would suggest that we despise, not love.  Never tell me you love me because I will watch your treatment of me.  I think, in order to say we love, first we have to really learn what love is.  We need to know what it is, teach our children, and practice it.  Don’t say you love me unless you really mean it.
