What use is an act of love when the recipient is unaware of it?

Asked by introv (697points) January 3rd, 2009

In another question it was suggested that keeping out of touch with someone may be an act of love towards them and a ‘good’ thing.

Initially I was in full agreement with this and it tallied up very well with my own belief system. However, with further reflection, I wonder what benefit there is to an act of love that the recipient is unaware of? Maybe I’m being dense and its obvious… I’m always prepared to accept that :)

Also, I would be happy to hear any other examples of acts of love towards people that the recipient is unaware of and the positive benefits they had or may potentially have?
