A Bit of Love to End the Year
I have been thinking about love a lot lately. Love in all its forms. Here are some things to contemplate.
LOVE
Love - What is it?
You all seek it, talk about it, find it, lose it, grasp it and push it aside. You talk incessantly of “unconditional love” and then you conditionally judge others for not having it or giving it to you. If love is the thing you all seek so vehemently or desperately please define it for us.
Yes, you can say it is caring for another, but many people would care for you and yet you would say that you did not love them. For most of you believe that love has to be the same as passion. You equate these to be the same thing and so therefore when a relationship begins to lose its passion you believe that the love is gone as well.
So we ask you again – What is love? We want you to think about this because you believe that you are lacking love in your lives because it does not match this elusive definition of yours or society’s or whomever. Does love only exist in committed relationships? Is love only between partners? A mother and child or father and child? Can friends love one another? Can you love someone you don’t even know? People talk of loving God and talk of a Loving God, then they complain because this God they love and this Loving God is not giving them all the things that they think that they need or want or desire. So is love so fleeting or do you use the word LOVE indiscriminately? Many of you marry and you LOVE this person and they are everything to you and then you get divorced and they are scum and you wonder how you could have ever loved them. Why do you not love them now even if you realize that they are not the type of person that you should be living with? Where does all this love go?
Do you love yourself? Are you willing to save yourself first? Do you put on your own oxygen mask first or are you always out there trying to save others so that you will be loveable and therefore loved? We are not going to answer these questions now, but we ask you to evaluate your LOVE STORIES and think about how you use this word and abuse this word.
Until then we leave you in love.
Namaste
