What Does Love Look Like?

The love I'm talking about is not conditional. It is non judgmental and is shared in full, which means, it has no restrictions or limits. The love I'm looking for is pure, inclusive, non-judgmental, non-conditional.

So often we use the word "love" and really have no clue what it's true meaning of love is.
Love has nothing to do with physical appearances, sexual relations, or what someone has done for you.
Love is selflessness; it's being empathetic.
Love is a profound thing that can change people, their bad habits, and their counter productive tendencies.

One of my favorite verses is about love and what it truely is:
"Love is patient, 
love is kind. 
It does not envy,
 it does not boast, 
it is not proud.
 It is not rude, 
it is not self-seeking, 
it is not easily angered,
 it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
 Love never fails."
This verse often puts the word, and the act -"love" into perspective. Every time I read it I make myself open to truly love people.
"I am open and receptive to truly love people and all living things"
