Love and passion are acts, not feelings nor intentions. I suppose this will apply to devotion, loyalty and benevolence.

Speaking from the point of a materialist/behaviorist, intentions and motives hardly matter anymore. Morally, the deed can be judged by its consequences and not its intended purposes nor initial motivations.

I admit that this is a rather reductive approach to morality and humanity. The mental, spiritual and emotional elements have been deemed irrelevant in judging if an act is lawful or moral. But I am being pushed to advocate this point of view.

For too many people have been telling me that they feel. But they do not do.

For too many people have been telling me that they love. But they do not do.

For too many people have been telling me that they care. But they do not do.

Sometimes, I wonder what they feel, love or care.

Love and passion allow for no excuse.
