An ancient Hebrew text says: "love is as strong as death."
一篇古代希伯来文说到：“爱和死一样强烈”
It seems that not everyone experiences this kind of strong love.

The increasing poverty, crime and war tell us that the world is in desperate need of true love.
日益增加的贫穷，犯罪和战争告诉我们这个世界极度需要真爱。

But, what is true love?
但是，真爱是什么？
Love is something we all need, but how do we know when we've experienced it? 爱是我们都需要的东西，但是我们怎么知道什么时候经历了爱？
True love is best seen as devotion and action, not an emotion.

Love is not exclusively based on how we feel.
爱不完全是基于我们的感觉。

Certainly our emotions are involved, but they can not be our only criteria for love. 当然我们的情感也涉及到了，但是情感不能成为我们对爱的唯一标准。

True love is when you care enough about another person that you would lay down your life for them.
真爱是当你们足够关心在乎另一个人，你们愿意为他们放弃自己的生命。

When this happens, then love truly is "as strong as death."。
