Love is an action based on the will and not solely on the heart.
Liking someone is based on admiration, emotion, the persons
characteristics, etc. Love is a commitment, e.g., doing for a person
even when that person is no longer very likable. As we age and our looks
and strengths deteriorate, someone who loves you will still care for
you. Some friendships develop into love. Most, if not all, long
lasting friendships also are based on love. It's easy to love and do
things to meet the needs of someone who is attractive and likable. But
it is love when you continue to do for someone who has become
unattractive and undergoes personality changes that make them unlikable.
