What is Love
Posted by cotojo on February 28, 2008
Love is:
Love is acceptance without exceptions
It is boundaries without limitations
It is an exact measure of an imprecise proportion
It is something pure and delicate
It is losing your self inside one another
Without asking questions or questioning who, what and where
It is all these things and nothing else
But a little more of what you have inside to give
It is giving without anticipation of receiving
It is selfless and helpless
It is vulnerable to impartiality
It is safety and security when everything else around is falling apart
It is making time when there is no time
For each other, for yourselves
It is never really being alone
Just always being
It is together
No rules, no gimmicks, it’s sink or swim
Love has its own life that outlives the ones who love
It is undying, destined to outlast even Romeo and Juliet
It is an everlasting love that lives on and on
Creating new life on its own
Love is creation
It is all around
Love is being a care giver
To the one whom cries out in distress
For the love desired
To fill an empty space
Love is all these things
But if you must ask
Then surely you need to find out for yourself
Because this definition of love is tied to that which defines
What love is
Love Is Us

Colin,
Good write and very inspiring. It also reminds me of 1 Corinthians 13 which talks about love.
I would like to invite you to participate in a Happiness Project. I think true love and happiness are very much inter-related. The decision to participate is your personal choice.

Our two basic emotions are Love and Apathy. When we’re in Love, there is no room for apathy. Identifying the emotions spawned from those we have mad, glad, sad, and scared. Which ones belong under the two basic categories Love and Apathy?
Just keeping it simple, kiddo. You’ve covered all of the bases.
I appreciate you, just in case you didn’t already know.
