Agápe

Flattery desires some sort of return. It wants a return of compliment, or it wants an attraction increased, or it wants a simple solution to an awkward situation.

A selfless love, a compliment, never flatters, because while it may search for a return, it will not demand or require it. A pure love does not set traps of expectation. A real love seeks the good in someone, instead of relying on invention or inflation. A selfless love is content desiring that the Loved One knows they are noticed, valuable, Loved. A real love does not require reciprocation to be complete, to be worthwhile.
