Love Order

God is love, God made us, so we should exhibit such love also, preachy huh! It’s the only way I can delve into this touchy subject called love. A word so frequently misused and misunderstood by many in this age. Even though there are different ways of showing love and several types, it still remains the same kind of feeling towards another. I intend to touch particularly on the love that exists between the opposite sexes.

 In the days gone by as I have watched, heard and read, love was sacred and never toyed with. Today, it is taken for granted in such alarming ways; many would tell you they don’t even believe in it. Others profess it but don’t even know the depth of it.

Today the kind of love that people indulge in is that which stays while the going is good and scrams when it get tough. Today we’d rather keep taking than giving, whatever happened to the joy of giving anyway. Many get carried away by the thought of having a partner but fail to consider the essence of the relationship. When asked what love is, they are quick to reply ‘caring, sharing and giving’, but they don’t even know how to show it anymore.

It is also sad to think that many associate love with sex, as a matter of fact to many love equals sex, take it out and you have zero according to them. If that were true, then would someone please explain to me why relationships where so much love is professed but all energy is pulled into sex fail at an alarming rate. They make it the bedrock of their union and it quickly gives way from under them like quicksand.

I’ve been privileged to get opinions from both side of the divide. Women on the one hand seem to appreciate the true meaning of love better but much of their beings have be contaminated and deeply embittered by the experiences they’ve had or heard that they simply refuse to ease themselves of the notion that the bad side of love is more likely to happen than not.

My theory in life regardless of religious belief, affiliation and otherwise, is that we get what’s coming to us, it’s a law, what you believe, think, profess is what will happen. You exhibit good, you get good; you exhibit an alive spirit, you get an alive spirit; it is the same with love, if you constantly nurture the fear that love will go bad, it almost certainly will.
