Love is a Varied Thing

Love is a four letter word that all cherish. Every one of us need it. We long for it. Love is what brings us into the world. We grow from nurturing bred from this deep emotion. Mothers are queens of love beyond challenge. The love from fathers solidifies the bonds of family. When children in a family grow up with emotional warmth they grow up to have a nurturing personality. Now I know what you might be thinking. There are exceptions to the rule. Yes there are exceptions, but we will discuss the most positive quality that we call love and its predominant affects on us all.

Teach your children to love all they come in contact with within reason. This we do because love comes in various degrees. For instance you can love people in general. You can love people with whom you are acquainted, people with whom you are associated, people with whom you are friends and finally people who are your family. Yes this feeling that we all share defines who we are and how we treat those around us.

Love, some say is blind. Only infatuation is truly blind. Love does see, it just does not view things the way the one who loves less does. Love is more like a marathon than a sprint. It takes miles to reach it as a finish line. When one rushes this emotion it is never really reached. You must take the time to develop it. Love is like baking a cake. If you rush it you ruin it. It never turns out as such in the end. Moving too fast in relationships almost always ruins the development of love. Love as we all know makes the world go round. It is the only thing that helps us keep our sanity in an insane world. It is what stops hate from overrunning our planet and our lives.

Love for people is a caring for our fellow man because he or she is a living individual like us who need others. Strangers we have never are showed a degree of affection because they are human just like us. Acquaintances are showed still more feelings from us because we have met them a time or two and know something about them through our experience with them. Associates are people that we know more about and have more experiences with than acquaintances. Thus they receive still more affection from us. Friends we are very familiar with and they really earn our love. Family goes without saying but lets say it anyway, we love them because we grew up loving them. We have shared many ups and downs that we have not shared with anyone else. The closest love among family on earth though, is the feelings between a husband and his wife.

True love is beyond even the deepest of all loves. The strength of this love is beyond the understanding of most. It develops from open, honest, and constant communication. Time only sows and intertwines it into an unbreakable strand that defies reason. When one forms a complimentary relationship with another it can flourish. True love will move a lover to die for the one who is the object of such love. Through time even if objects of such love are kept apart it never dies. Yes, true love will move one to die for another but it itself never dies. Thus true love is eternal. For one has to be in that love to understand it. The pull from it is both magnetic and exhilarating. If you reach this love it will set you free. Strive for such love and you may just fall in love. Any love is better than none.
