Yes, we are love coz the very essence of love is the realisation of that feeling...
that deep joy we get, from the soul, within us. If we were not there, could love exist??
Love is because of us, not others....
Think if we were not alive/did not feel this love.....
No matter how much someone loves us, would matter??
We are all love within ourselves just like rivers or the fragrance of flowers...however, unlike us, the nature has attained that level of completeness within where it does not seek it outside.
It continues to be the love and gives unconditionally!
