The love, care, and attention we get from loved ones have a way it affects us. Many raised in broken homes lack this, and it one way or another has a negative effect on them. We so often underestimate the love and attention we get from our loved ones until they no longer send it our way. The genuine connection we all crave can only be created when we give room for love, care, and attention and have a positive relationship with loved ones and people around us. The power and force that love carries are something everyone deserves to feel. Love has the power to transform; it changes the worst of people into a better version of themselves. Many of us are witnesses; we have seen love change people; people drop their bad habits all for love. Love is not meant to exist only between a mother and her child or just within the family; it is something we really need to spread and not keep to ourselves.

We really shouldn't choose who deserves or doesn't deserve love; everyone does deserve to be loved. Looks and color shouldn't be criteria before we show love; we should show love to people not because we want to but because of how necessary it is to show love. Lately, when you scroll through Facebook, you will definitely come across a video or two where a show of love is displayed, and in the end, you'll hear the quote "love conquers all." The power of love is really underestimated; love does conquer everything; it conquers hate; it conquers depression; it conquers anxiety; and most of all, it conquers illness.
When fighting depression, the therapist always advises that one surrounds themselves with loved ones. The show of love from loved ones can help pull one out of the strong grip of depression. Even in cases where one battles with a dreaded disease at an early stage, the doctors advise loved ones to be there for them, and that way they stand a chance to win the fight. This alone proves that love can do a lot of things and have a driving force that nothing on earth can be compared to. These and many more are the benefits of love and having positive relationships with loved ones and people around you; they'd stand by you and help you win every battle.
Whenever this question is asked, a lot of answers and perspectives about love are heard. For me, love is not something expressed by mere words; your action must be equal to all that you say in words; both action and words must tally. Love is a lot of things; love is sacrifice. You must be willing to make sacrifices for the people you love. This is why people drop their bad habits for the people they love. Love can mend a broken soul, but lately the definition and show of love have been misinterpreted by many.
A lot of things hinder the spread of love: holding grudges, not forgiving those that hurt us, jealousy, all of these stand as a hindrance to the spread of love and tamper with love's driving force. In order for the show and spread of love to continue, we must do away with hate, jealousy, and grudges. We must do away with anything that will stop us from showing or spreading love.
