You need a heart!!

Often times i find myself asking what does it mean to love one another, then i start pondering over the different meanings of love and start wondering whether indeed there are different kinds of love and in what simplest way could it be explained then i find that no definition of love will ever be enough to truly tell us what love is rather it can simply be seen in us, in each individual, our character, our personality reflects what we are inside us, are we filled with love or hate?

Because it is what we feel inside that radiates around us, the way we feel inside shows whether we know love or not, the way we walk, talk, live and interact with one another. Some say that our capacity to love is embedded in the way we were brought up, our experiences in life and sufferings as well as our joys, personally they are right but i believe also that to love is a choice we make personally, regardless of our age or our situation, it is not an easy task to decide to love the world and everyone around you with so many negative people all around the world.

Loving is natural, we have to learn to love a little at first, then we practice it every day after which we become perfect and capable of loving all of God’s creation, if we can love a little bit at a time then at long last we will come to love the world with so much passion just as Christ has instructed. When we love we are no longer slaves to evil, we become free like the birds in the sky. 

“Love is shown in the statement of spinoza’s.... that truly loving God does not involve a demand for love in return. It is the attitude referred to by the artist Joseph Bender: “To produce art requires that the artist be able to love - that is to give without thought of being regarded.”  ”.

  “Love is madness of the heart.”
