What Then Is Love?
As the world surrounds me with glitches
Of how I can’t get through
As my life is stumped with misfortune
Of no where I can turn to
As my relations are full of the untrue
Of no one I can talk to
I then stop to think
What really is love?
Is it the filling of the gap of loneliness with just about anything or anyone who crosses your path?
Is it the living of just "now" for the sake of it?
Is it the satisfaction of oneself?
Is it the money making and richness?
Is it the latest Gucci or Givency you see?
Is it the waste of resources for the sake of showing it?
Is it the neglection of others for the satisfactiin of oneself?
I then stop to think
And ask myself
What then is love?
And self said
Love is......
Living for both today and tomorrow
Living for you and your neighbor
Not meant to fill up any gap of loneliness but it's meant to give companionship and friendship
Love isn't selfish. It caters and cares for both you and your neighbor, or anyone meant to experience it
Love is not materialistic. Its an emotion sacred to one’s feelings which is shared and connected with others sharing the same feelings and emotions. Its also an action-oriented gesture where we take actions to show others we are sincere of what we say or do.
Materials can be used to show love but in discreet form. But if materialism is the only way you show love as in , pampering the person with It, then it's not love.
Love is caring and helping those in need. Showing someone we care by providing for them what they can't afford or simply making their day in small genuine ways is an act of love. Neglecting people in need just because of our self satisfaction is pure selfishness and doesn't show love but condemnation.
Love comes in many forms. Not just in intimate relationships. Caring, friendship, helping, and actively being there for someone are acts of love.
Love is shown everywhere and to everyone. It just depends if you willing to share your love as well.
Everyone needs a little love sometimes. Even the guy or lady on the street. So, next time you see someone in need of love, please do not hesitate to share.......😀❤
