To me? Real love is engaging in the boring, the painful, the menial, and the dangerous... and doing it for someone other than yourself.
But that's not love. Those are actions you take out of love. You could say, those actions demonstrate or express love. But that's not the same as LOVE.

There's love, and then there's the things you do because you love. See what I'm saying?
