Love was the topic and love month is almost over. Better put down some thoughts. Trying to describe what love means is like pinning Jell-O to a tree or raising a child.
Love is a feeling of security that enhances your self-image. Yep, that sounds fairly close, but it takes some explanation. So here it goes.
In child hood love is the emotion that should be shared between a child and his family. It is from the interactions with his elder the child begins to form and inner self. If these are positive, he will be positive and grow well. If not, as a teacher I have seen the results of negativity too often to dwell on it here. It is not a good thing and hard to repair,
In our youth love and lust intertwine and this can lead to happiness and pain. The happiness may be brief and the pain deep, but each is a lesson. We learn from these experiences that we are, what we want and how to make good or better choices.
In our middle years love supports us. We become secure in family and mates; offspring and ourselves give us reasons to feel secure. It is the warmth on cold winter nights, the hand holding ours during a crisis, the reassurance that we are worthy of being loved.
As we age love allows us to know we mattered. Some one lets us know that we have etched memories in their souls. The are there to help as we begin to fail without being asked because they love and that they will stay with as until the end
Love is never truly feeling alone not matter the separating miles. Love is the smile at a joke told too often. Love is shared laughter or tears at a memory. Love is the greatest human need at all stages of life. I have had and still have love. May you be so blessed.
