Love

You can't make someone love you.
All you can do is be someone who can be loved;
the rest is up to the person to realize your worth.

It's better to lose your pride to the one you love,
than to lose the one you love because of pride.

We spend too much time looking for the right person to love
or finding fault with those we already love,
when instead we should be perfecting the love we give.

Love others, you may never know the lives you touch, the hurting hearts your love speaks to, or the hope that you can bring.

Love

Someone shared this opinion:

I believe in Love and I believe that we all need God's grace to love in the true sense of the word. Is "love" even a word or an emotion? Is love a feeling or an attribute of faith and hope? I believe Love is God and God is love, therefore love is eternal. Thus true love is not something you fall in and out of. True love is experiencing the kind of love Jesus has for the Church. True love is beyond our mind, it is beyond any chemical produced - Heck True love is so real and tangible, that we don't even know what it is and the only way we can identify it is by contrasting what it is not.

The phrase "falling in love" has been bastardized and to me it really means a high state of emotional attachment, infatuation, fear, lust, obsession, jealousy, control and sexual desires all mixed together.

True love is a function of time; a complex polynomial who's solution has a time complexity of eternity

f(t) = L^2[x^n + x^n-1 + x^n-2 +....+ 1]

Where L = LOVE
t = time
x = Gods grace
for - (infinity) <= n <= +(infinity)

On the other hand "falling in love" is a linear equation of f(t).

f(t) = (I/L)x + C

Where I = Infactuation
x = God's grace
L = LOVE
for - (Big butt) <= C <= + Sexual Attraction

If you notice in "falling in love", f(t) is inversely related to L thus as time increases, LOVE diminishes.

What Does Love Mean? [From the Mouth of Children]

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

20. And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.

When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry"
