Do I really need to be that much of a fool to believe in Love? Love makes the world go round, love is what keeps things running.
True, the love that rules this world is not a love of sunshine daisies.
The love of money, for one, is what keeps many big businesses going. The love of material things, possession, consumerism, that love of more.
It’s easy to love things. You can hold them and play with them. You can show them off to other people and gain respect and admiration.
It isn’t easy to love people. People let you down and betray you. People break their promises and disagree with you. People can do horrible things to you and some probably have already! It’s not easy to love them.
Yet love is what drives us. Love is what keeps you going. If there is nothing you love you have nothing to live for.
If you have something to love you have something to live for. When you strive for something you love your life gains meaning and purpose.
What do we love then? Material objects, those are fleeting and finite. People are fickle and unreliable.
Instead, love an idea
Love a feeling
Love a vision
LOVE THY SELF!
It is when we find love for our self that we can find love for other people and things.
