To love is to see something, know something, or be aware of something, or to have an opinion on something.
These are all different words but they all mean the same thing. Why is this so important?
Because you cannot love something unless you have first known it, or first assumed an opinion on it.

It is through this knowledge that the love is then given form.
This knowledge is gained by considering something, or
being concerned with something, or having an opinion on something.
This is how you can know something. This is the basis of love.

If you love something, then you know something about it.

So, to love is to know, or be concerned with, something, or to have an opinion about something.
It’s a way of experiencing what your heart desires. It’s a way of knowing what is right and what is wrong.
And, to know something is to be concerned with it. To have an opinion about something is to have a view on it.
These are all ways of having a perspective on things.

We know something about something, or be concerned with something, if we first have a view of it.
It is always in relation to something. But we do not know it at first.
We do not know it through observation, or experience, or anything else. It is through form.
It is through being sensitive to, and orientated towards something.
It is a way of knowing and being concerned with something. The best definition of knowing I have heard is,

‘I know that when I act in that way that I am expressing love towards that other person.’

I have heard this expressed in the language of ethics.
It is the only language that can capture this profound meaning of knowing.

To love is to know and care

Love, therefore, is about knowing and being concerned with something.
It is about having a perspective on something. This is the only way that it can be about love.
It is a way of touching a heart and occupying that heart. It is a way of living by a heart that you’ve been touched by love.

Knowledge about something, or being concerned about something, can be expressed in many ways.
It can be expressed through action, or through inaction, or through caring, or through caring,
but definitely it can be expressed through action and action can be expressed through indifference.
There are a number of ways of caring about something and expressing this care. It is just a matter of personal preference.

The only way that you can be concerned about something is if you have first touched a heart and occupied that heart.
You can express concern only if you have touched a heart and occupied it by a heart that is free from suspicion.
It has not been touched by mistrust.
If you have touched a heart by a heart that is suspicious, then you will not be concerned about that heart.
There are a number of ways of expressing concern about something and being concerned about something.
It is a matter of personal preference.

To love is to act

The expression of care and concern are intimately connected.
Care and concern are ways of touching a heart and occupying that heart. Care and concern are ways of expressing yourself.
They are not things that you do to somebody else.
You can do things to somebody else, but that doesn’t express care and concern about that other person.
You can express care and concern by caring about that other person by caring about that other person’s heart.
You can express concern and care by caring about that other person.

You can express concern and care in a number of ways.
In acting, if you have care and concern in your heart, you can express it only through action.
If you express it through inaction, it is something else.
You can express it through caring, but if you express it through caring,
you can’t occupy that heart by a heart that is free from suspicion.
You can express it through action, but if you express it through inaction, that doesn’t express it.

To love is to be free

So, if you do care, you are not going to be concerned about that heart.
And, if you are concerned about that heart, you can’t be concerned about that heart.

Care and concern are ways of touching a heart. It is not something that you have to do to somebody else.
The care that is expressed by care is done through action.

Care is a property of an actor. It is not something that you are.
