considering love...

So, we had a great discussion in the dorm yesterday. I love working with thinking people, that have opinions and talk about it to the fullest degree. I have worked many jobs this past year, but I have to say working with these people are like going to college again. Everyone has their own thoughts and ideas and love to discuss world events, human emotions, and perspectives. great,great,great…
personal thoughts were spoken, opinions boiled over, amusement was my constant companion. Dang I love smart people!
The conversation in question was about…love.
hahahaha…we had a huge four hour argument over…love
That makes me ponder my own thoughts and my own personal relationships…that is why I love discussing life with smart people.
Anyway, Love…my point was love is an action word…not necessarily just an emotion, although love is feeling, it is merely an extension (action) of how you feel about a person. A person who is your lover, your friend, your any person you have a relationship with.
Multifaceted extremes swirl into a kaleidoscope of thoughts on this huge discussion. I don’t have the attention span to cover the entire episode, but this is the thought I took away from the talk.
I figured out a lot about love after I had my children… before that I only thought I loved someone. Love is a definite feeling(emotion) you have ,yet you must nurture it…act on it, show love or it remains merely a feeling that will fade over time.
for instance…I love this guy. I show him love in many ways. He shows me love in many ways. But alas love is an action word…or it should be, because once he stops showing you love…you lose interest. It becomes boring, uninteresting, mundane, and no longer relevant.
I take care of my children by taking care of their needs and I show love to my friends by doing the same thing, but once my friends cease to show me love that emotion, that feeling starts to fade and sooner rather then later it dies. it just does. I don’t think its selfish although we all know there is no such thing as an un selfish act.
Love is a two way street or it should be. If the act of loving is not returned then you have a funked up co-dependant relationship and someone gets used. So any thinking, intelligent person ends the relationship, because it has now become one sided, and boring…it just don’t feel good anymore.
anyway that was my consideration…
