WHAT IS THE VALUE AND ESSENCE OF LOVE?

How much love can people give? What is the value and essence of love? Like, when is it ever enough? What standards do we use to measure love? What is the value of love? How much affection can we give out? What’s the essence of love, and to whom do we give it out?

Would you please know that people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care? That’s why you don’t measure your life by its duration but by its donation.

An expression of love doesn’t cost much, just as 5 loaves of bread and two fish might appear too little until you start serving it to the needy.

One stone is enough to break a glass, one word is enough to break a heart or even lift a soul, and one second is enough to fall in love; that little push, that extra effort, that mindless thought is all it takes to cause a chain reaction.

How many people can you show the value and essence of love?

You know, I once met someone who said, ‘It is how people remember you and the number of lives that you are able to impact that shows how you were able to effectively fulfil your purpose.’

You do not have to be in a relationship to show and express love. If you can’t love a random person with all sincerity, how then do you account for the value of love?

The world today has stereotyped love to be something intimate and romantic.

If some people had had kindness shown today, I am sure there would not have been half of the violence the world has today.

Love does not care for itself; it takes no record of evil. Love is kind; it bears no evil, it is the greatest virtue on earth; love is humble… I wonder where many people get their own definition of love.

Love is not a tool.

To most people, love is just a tool to get what they want from ‘seemingly’ naive people. Love is now being used to cheat on so many others. To the affected, love is a bittersweet thing. Well, when the use of a thing is not known, abuse is imminent. For most people, love is about receiving, not giving, which shouldn’t be.

Love that was meant to heal now hurts. Love that was meant to build now destroys. It was meant to cure, now its wounds. Love now does the exact opposite thing of what it was meant to achieve.

Well, we can only keep on naming the real act of ‘loving’ could be called anything. Kindness, care, affection, and respect… Whatever you choose to be good to somebody. Help someone dream. Inspire and encourage someone. Make someone happy. Create joy and happiness. Let someone look forward to having you every day.

Encourage someone today.

Love is not restricted to your family, friends, and spouse but also your enemies and those you don’t even think of or care about. In lighter terms “Your Neighbours”

Who is your neighbour? I trust in anticipation that you’ll be able to answer that question sincerely.

Thanks to my dear friend who gave me the inspiration to do this. You Are Loved.
