Ahhh, love
On Valentine's day, we think of love in a romantic sense. We celebrate with flowers, candy and a date.
But what about all the other days?
Is love truly forever? Are there different kinds of love?
I think the answers to these questions are yes and yes.
When we are young, love is very physical and many times hurts. Lust is part of it, emotions certainly a big part. Without alot of personal history, do we really know what kind of person we need to complete us? There is the old saying opposites attract. That is true, however, having common interests that last longer than the lust is important, and even critical to a long & lasting love.
Being with someone you like, whose company you enjoy, is a joy that cannot be underestimated. It is important to have someone to stand by you, no matter if you are right or wrong. They do not need to agree with you, but care enough to let you know that they disagree and are willing to listen to your reasoning about your differences.
Does it sound like I am describing friendship? Yes, I am.
All love does not have to be romantic. We form close ties to friends and pets that sustain us during hardships in our lives. The touch of another living being is very comforting.
We love our children and parents, even when they drive us to our wits ends!
Real love revels in success, joy & achievement.
Real love is not jealous, as there is security in real love.
Real love knows not color, nationality or sexual orientation.
to be cherished in all its forms.
