Love is…
Love is personal, love is free, love is open minded, love is life, love is all around us, love is all you need.
Love is a feeling that is so individually unique it is almost impossible to describe. In its most simple explanation love is an emotion that is shared between two people. The symptoms of this emotion can be as beautiful as it can be ugly. As humans we are taught the effects of love from day one. Right after our trip out of the birth canal we are engulfed with love.
Love costs nothing. We have the power to love and be loved and no one can ever take that away. No one can tell us who and how to love. It is our own freewill that tells us those things. Every individual chooses characteristics that they find attractive and if enough of those characteristics are present love will blossom.
Love is unconditional. No matter what happens love is always present. When you truly love something nothing can or ever will stop you from loving it. Love is so powerful that that it can help you see more at the same time you are seeing less. Meaning, love can open you up to all that is right in your life will blinding all that is wrong.
Love is responsible for the circle of life. Love starts between two individuals, they come together to express their love and create a new life which in turn they teach love and the cycle starts over. Though there are many different explanations of the meaning of life love is the only real answer. Love is what we strive for all of our life. It is the answer to all our problems. Love is the bases for every major religion, organization, and human. Humans try to surround themselves with as much love as they can. It is our life line.
“You know you are in love when you see the world in her eyes, and her eyes everywhere in the world.” -David Levesque-
This sums up what love truly is. Love is all around us and the only thing that stops us from realizing that is ourselves. Even in this time of depression, caused by our president, love runs ramped. Every movie, album, and ad campaign has a theme of love in it somewhere and if it doesn’t we hate it. Humans crave love.
John Lennon said it best…
“There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done.
Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game.
It’s easy.
Nothing you can make that can’t be made.
No one you can save that can’t be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time
It’s easy
All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.”
Lennon, John. The Magical Mystery Tour. Apple Record
