Cupid, the messenger of love, asked Aphrodite, the goddess of love, "What is the meaning of LOVE?"
The goddess replied, "'L' stands for Listen. Love means to listen to the other person's needs unconditionally and without bias, and to offer assistance. 'O' stands for Obligate, which means gratitude. Love requires constant gratitude and care, giving more love to nourish the seed of love. 'V' stands for Valued, which means respect. Love is about showing your respect, offering considerate and sincere encouragement, and giving pleasing compliments. 'E' stands for Excuse, which means forgiveness. Love is about treating each other kindly, forgiving flaws and mistakes, and preserving strengths and virtues."
