What Is Your Love Even Worth?

As a man, you are only loved for what you are capable of.
You are loved conditionally.

The way you show love is through your attention.
But if you are a nobody, your attention has no value.
You cannot truly show love because you are incapable.

What is your love worth if you cannot provide?
If you cannot protect?
If you cannot act when it matters?

A man who is weak and incapable can give all his attention,
but it will not matter.

A single reply from a capable man carries more weight than all the attention of the incapable combined.
His attention is valuable because it comes from someone who can act, someone who stands for something.
He can express his love, and it has meaning.

How can you call it love if, in a moment of danger, you are incapable of protecting them—and make no effort to change that?

If you cannot make your attention and care meaningful —
if you cannot express your love in a way that actually matters,
and you are not working to become capable enough to do so,
perhaps you do not truly love anyone at all.
