Love for myself and others. I can easily crush and belittle a young student using my prof. or boss title (profiting from their fear), not doing this is being loving. I don't attack others.

Okay... I accept that not attacking when you could shows a certain kindness, or at least caution.
What do you feel is a more active and giving than passive way of being loving?

Love is felt... that's all we really know.
It's not that one love is 'real' and another is not, and no one I know says so.
There is love for others and theirs for us... then there's love with-no-object, love for-no-reason.
This love may arise from within no matter what our situation, personal relationships or none, regardless of external or internal conditions.

What I feel is that I should not profit from others' weaknesses fears etc.
Nobody feels this, apparently. |

Being loving - what does it entail?
Thanks for the question; here's my perspective:
It begins with acceptance; it begins with an attitude of 'forgiveness' toward
all that comes to us, whatever the source, whether 'within' or 'without'.
[This posture engenders peace; this posture promotes Truth]
We are all "processers", we give as we have recieved. When we are forgiving
and accepting of all that comes to us, we can offer forgiveness and acceptance.
But that's just the beginning.

It doesn't look weird to me, Horace. Besides, you can go back and edit one of your posts... within 5 hours.
