“This is because love isn’t just a feeling. It’s a special kind of paying attention, which celebrates a person’s individuality.”
What is love? A philosopher explains it's not a choice or a feeling − it's a practice

What makes a relationship last when feelings fade or circumstances change? Can you force yourself to love someone you hate or don’t care about?
