Love, what is it?
what is love? I once had it described to me as a self centered you must get something out of loving someone pretty much to be in love... it is like feeding an obsession you might say.... But that really cannot be can it? I refuse to believe that for that does not follow the spirit of God and I am a Christian and 2 Corinthians has an explaination of love "...love is patient, love is kind..." everyone knows that verse it seems even if they are not faithful. I refuse to believe that love an obsession it may seem that way sometimes but that you need to get something out of it to love. I love all of my friends and care about them all as though they were my family yeah I get something out of that an early death, ulcers later in life maybe... nothing spectacular.... so why would I love my friends then? because they are family to me they help me as I help them so maybe I am getting something out of it does that mean that if I were not to be getting that returned to me that I would stop loving them.... for some reason I doubt this in an extreme measure... I still even though I say that I have washed my hands of some people for their selfcentered ways or that they frustrated me beyond all eternity love them and want them to suceed in life why I can't explain maybe because I just want to see everyone suceed maybe because they were once close to me and I can't cut ties as easily as I would sometimes like to do.... but whatever I guess that it doesn't really matter as to why I love them all that matters is that I do right? There is no rationale behind loving someone it only opens you up for heartbreak and to being jealous... but here I am completely in love with someone and it happened almost against my will I didn't ask for it at the time but remembering waking up next to Danielle every morning for a semester I never once asked God to take it away from me... I love Danielle as a friend but more than that as well I believe in the concept of a soulmate many of them in fact a soulmate is someone that you are supposed to know in your life whether you hate them or love them or you feel apathetic towards them they are meant to be in your life. I believe that God makes the perfect complement to your soul and I believe that I found her and I love her not because it gets me anything in return but just because I love her I was made to love her. by that I mean that God made us to love each other.... not that I am forced to love her. Well some tired deep thoughts just ran out love to all
