Yes love and caring are very deep rooted in our culture because we have no social security system and this is what binds society together.
Hence you have to be careful calling it love in the classic romantic sense because there is also an element of insurance and respect ideals in it.
As I said english concept of love is very broad and actually crosses many terms for me.
When you bring it into religion in islamic regions there is another issue that crops up under your broad definition of love "the fear of god" will translate to love.
The Love of God, and the Fear of God, are two of the foundations of Islam and so are not seperable under your broad definition of love.
To give you some idea at a crass level here is number 8 rewritten with the above as insight.
8 "The fear of god" never fails!
Everyone who prophesies will stop, and unknown languages will no longer be spoken.
All that we know will be forgotten.
Hopefully you can begin to see what happens when I try and translate that.
