After looking at so much hate and destruction I thought it was time to look at the other end of the spectrum.
What is love for many people? Is it that feeling you get being with your partner? Is it when a child wants to hold your hand when crossing the street? Is it when you have finished the semester with all passing grades and you love that it is over? Could it be the kindness that is given to you and what you give to others when just being there?
I would like to know what it is for you please let me know so I can add it all up and get a good idea.
I have people on the streets in the cold with nothing on but a pair of pants and a t-shit and People have stopped their cars given clothes, food, and money to help them out. I have personally gone out of my way taken off my own jacket and helped someone out. I ask for nothing and if it helps that person feel some comfort some kind of love for them self, I now feel love that I hope many people strive for. This is an experiment but I hope it opens your eyes to the love people have and are willing to share when the world is so cruel
Many people say that the love they get from their pets is all the love they have ever really received and that might be true but I usually have to ask then, well do you know how much love you are actually giving to your pet and maybe they are just trying to match that. So you can give love as well as receive it.
I know personally my 2 pits and my 3 cats do this everyday when my girls and I return from school.
Many Parents say that it is the love that they have for their children and the love their children have for them that is the best love they have ever felt and probably will ever feel. Yes this video made me cry but again I am pregnant and love all my kids unconditionally.
What ever it is and how ever you feel and give it I hope everyone feels the love they deserve and that the world was kinder to each other. It take you to start this process and I hope everyone looks inside them self and realize the love they have to give.
Hi Jenn. I liked your "Rant" about love. Hate has no purpose except to destroy the hater and hurt others as well. I "Hate" (haha) to comment on how I have seen our attitudes towards one another change throughout my lifetime, but I will anyway. I have observed our society exchange care and compassion for others, to self centered desire to succeed at other's expense. Not everyone, but many. I sincerely hope that somehow the trend reverses and we can all try to help others as you do. Keep it up. Maybe kindness will become contagious. I'd love to think so.
ReplyDeleteI was very excited to read your blog entry as I have a very similar one on my blog for entry #4. Although I was a bit confused as to if you're trying to inform me, ask me, or give me examples of affection/love? I did enjoy the YouTube videos though!
ReplyDeleteI guess I wanted a little bit of it all.
Deletefor some reason i couldn't help but think about haddaway's "what is love", which in turn reminded me of night at the roxbury. lol on a serious note though, love is like you say love comes in many different forms. whether it be love towards a stranger, love towards family or love towards friends. it is how you show you care about others, and how loving someone affects not only you but everyone around you.
