Love: A Language of Actions, Not Just Words
Ah, love. The whispered word that can set hearts ablaze, the promise etched across eternity. But what if the fire fades, the promise crumbles? Sometimes, the sweetest pronouncements of love can ring hollow. That's when the wisdom of this saying kicks in: "Don't believe those who tell you they love you, believe those who show you they do."
It's a gentle nudge towards a deeper understanding of love. Love isn't a firework exploding in a single dazzling night, it's a steady flame that endures. It's not just the whispered "I love you" under the moonlight, but the hand reaching for yours when the path gets dark. It's the unwavering support, the unwavering presence that speaks volumes more than flowery words.
Think of it this way: words are cheap. They can be tossed around carelessly, uttered in the heat of the moment, or worse, used as a tool for manipulation. But actions? Those leave a lasting mark. The one who remembers your favorite coffee order, the one who shows up when you need a shoulder to cry on, the one who celebrates your victories and helps you dust yourself off after a fall – these are the ones who truly speak the language of love.
This doesn't mean discounting sweet nothings altogether. But true love goes beyond words. It's woven into the fabric of everyday moments. It's the late-night study session fueled by takeout because they know you're stressed about that exam. It's the surprise text that brightens your day. It's the countless ways they show they understand you, respect you, and prioritize your happiness.
So, the next time someone tells you they love you, take a moment to look beyond the words. See if their actions paint the same picture. Because true love is a story written not in fleeting whispers, but in a lifetime of unwavering devotion. It's a symphony played not on grand stages, but in the quiet moments of everyday life. Believe the actions, for they are the truest expression of the heart.
Love, Light, Peace & Joy
