"I wish everyone was loved tonight. And somehow stop this endless fight. Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days."
I believe I can freely say that the most amazing feelings in the world is the warmth, joy, happiness, [and whatever it is] that love can give. There is no way to limit what love can bring to our lives. It is heavy, it is beautiful, it is pure, and it is painful. I truly wish there was never a person that experienced a life without love. People from all walks of life and from all different beliefs can agree on this one point: A life without love is meaningless.
The most common topic to write on, sing about, make features on, ache over is love. It is a reoccurring theme to find love, to keep love, to fight for love, and to show love. What does it look like to really experience love? There are different definitions. What I've discovered as that in some ancient languages, they had different words for each different type of love. I think the problem today is that we have cut out these different ways of saying "love" and just jumble it into the phrase "I love you" thinking that it's enough. Unfortunately, since this is a culture of "how I personally perceive things" is the most important view on life itself, it doesn't matter if someone is showing love in a different way than a person wants it. If that person doesn't see it as love (or truly love he/she is wanting), it's just tossed off as worthless, "hate", or heartlessness.
Can't we just begin to reshape our minds on what love really is? Why does it have to be based of someone always feeling good or happy? Love inspires so many emotions and works of art. Why is it limited then to emotions when it comes between two people? And why is it limited to always doing what someone likes or approves of or making someone feel good about himself/herself? There is passionate love, friend love, family love, long love, empathetic love... To me there is so much yet to be understood about LOVE.
I have yet to feel long lasting love because that is only for those two people who have been married and faithful for so long. I believe that has to be one of the most fulfilling things in life.
