It's like art, you know it when you see it.
Actually, the definition that I came up years ago goes something like this: There are people I would run into a burning building to save, but I would probably stop and think for a second or two first. Then there are people I would run into a burning building to save without hesitation. THOSE are the people that I love. My husband, my mother and my children (I actually have a dog I would do that for, too, but I almost didn't write that because I thought it would make me seem weird. But I am trying to get over worrying about what other people think about me, so there you go). For me, love is caring more for someone else than you care for yourself and also wanting their good over yours.
