Never mistaken lust for love. Love is not some selfish feeling of enjoyment obtain by using others up.

Love always cares for the second person as for oneself.(1 Corinthians 13)

Define love, then so we know if your love isn't a form of lust!

Love is that which endures long and is patient and kind; never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.

Is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly, does not insist on its own rights or its own way, is not self-seeking; is not touchy or fretful or resentful; takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].

Does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.

Bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, with fadeless hopes under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].

Never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end].

I said you should provide a definition, not an analogy or an ode. Concretely define love.

Love is goodwill.

Mosco100:
Love is goodwill.

Goodwill? You mean like the Suicidal empathy sort of goodwill?

no. Not in that sense of the word.

Then, again, concretely define "Love", so we do not continually confuse it with what it is not.

before Israel was, He is the I AM

Mosco100:

Before Nigeria was, did he say, that he is God of Nigeria? He literally renamed himself God of Israel as soon as his desired Israel appeared. So, did he make a mistake?
