   Love is meant to be reciprocated. But if the reverse is the case, dare to love anyway. Now that demands, you've got to love even those that refused to show love to you or rather you are expected to love those that often take your love for granted. Yes of course, you should love everyone. After all, God sent his son Jesus Christ to die for you and he eventually died for you even when you were still a sinner. Oh! yes, that is a typical example of true love. And I guess, that is worth emulating, isn't it? -Emeasoba George
