Do you believe love is the image of God, and not a lifeless image, but the living

Firstly we could ask the question: "Is love the product of thought, is it an idea? If love is some idea we rely upon to make us secure; then is love a static entity, essentially a collection of adjectives that are fragments of a whole concept? Is love a collection of moral concepts?
If one loves an alcoholic, does one: a) give him what he wants, more alcohol b) give him tough love by stealing his alcohol and etc...
If one decides in advance, then one is not feeling the specific situation that may occur! Can an idea be flexible to fit situations, or to love do we need to observe and act? Is an idea is an image and therefore not flexible?
In other words if you love, is thinking necessary, or is love in seeing the whole situation and acting?
If you see a starving man, do you think about what you could do for him, or do you observe him and act right away?
Secondly: We could explore the question of God being an image at all? Do we live in an image world or a movie world? Is an image able to tell you what is happening, or do you require a movie? Energy means ''at work''. If God has energy, how can God have a static image? Maybe people want a static image as a mental comfort blanket, something like a home which they can get shelter from the changing elements?
The main verb associated with God is to have joy, which means: 1) to have pleasure, or to please and 2) to delight (to sing, or shine). The root of the word please means ''to smooth over"
Beam means ''to shine''. Stars shine because they have energy, and in that great energy there is constant movement. Singers shine in their performance...One may say of a singer, he has a bright future, he is a star. Perhaps God then is bright energy in movement, as opposed to dispersed energy caught in static pattern, caught in a rut etc?
So do you believe in love; or do you ''do love''? Is love an abstract concept or is it a verb, does it only operate during action?
If someone says "I love him", does it mean that: "I love him for what he has done"; or does it mean, "I love him for fulfilling my idea of a perfect man"?
Is there any evil in God? Well if you put sheep in a pen, the sheep act as one group, in a smooth predictable manner. If you open the pen door, the sheep disperse, and act as if they are individuals, despite all being of the same need. Yet humans divide themselves in to ideological groups for stability, so on a larger scale we war against ourselves. We have families, so we don't have to care for a stranger! We love one perfect partner, rather than seeing humans equally! Is our whole society bumpy, full of discriminations that cause conflicts?

No, I really don't. Do people really believe that love is the image of a lifeless image?
I believe in love, but I don't really follow what you are saying. I think loving each other is what our life goal is to be. We're not doing so well, are we? At least I understand that though.
