Without Love...
Love is hard.
Sure, there are times that love is easy.
Falling in love is easy. It is easy to love our children. And puppies. Puppies are easy to love. (If you aren't trying to train them! Haha.)
So, love isn't always hard. But, often times, it is. It can be hard to love our spouses, our friends, our families, our homes, our jobs... or our lives.
I have yet to meet a "lover" who has not also experienced the painful kiss of disappointment, betrayal, and heartache.
When we love, we will inevitably experience disappointment and feel pain. We can slowly determine that the cost of love is too high because it hurts so much. Through the many disappointments that we experience it is easy to choose to love less.
Despite all of my experiences that have taught me that love is quite costly, I have determined that the cost of not loving is far greater.
To lose my love is to lose my life.
Love is hard, but we must continue to choose love no matter how difficult it may be.
We can discover all of the mysteries on this earth, but if we don’t’ find love, we will still be lost.
We could find a family for every child in need of one, but if they are not shown love, there is no point.
We can possess all of the intellect of this world, but without love, it will lead us to isolation.
We can teach our children all of the lessons of life, but if they never learn that they are loved, then we have failed.
We could feed every starving person on this earth, but if they have not been treated with love, they will still be in need.
We can be on the “right” side of every argument, but if we can’t love the person on the other side, what does that say about us?
We can possess all of the power in the world, but without love, we cannot be trusted with it.
We can be married for the rest of our lives, but if it is void of love, it will be far from a fairy tale.
We can earn freedom for the entire world, but if there is no love, we will be enslaved by our hate.
We can have everything that money can buy, but without love, we will still be poor.
We can speak with beautifully eloquent words, but if they are not followed with love, our words will produce hate.
It is vital that we find a way to put love at the center of our cause, no matter what that may be.
Because without love my friends, we have nothing.
