Love is the greatest gift

                                       The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in."
What is the one emotion that has everyone mystified? What is the one emotion that has started as many wars as it has ended? What emotion has had more plays, songs, and stories written about it than anything else? Love, that one emotion that makes enemies into friends and friends into enemies..

Love is the greatest gift that we can ever hope to give or receive. Love is the one thing that can overcome so many of the difficult times that we are faced with in life. Love is so powerful, it can turn frowns into smiles. It can help mend the most broken heart. It can even turn all of the ugliness in the world into the most beautiful portrait we can ever have the pleasure to behold....

This emotion, bring tears to our eyes when something bad happens to our family members, friends, and even pets. When we feel love ripped from us, as in death, we do things we wouldn't normally do, such as go on violent rampages, or mourn to the extent that our loved ones have to watch us constantly to make sure we don't try anything crazy. Some can move on, always remembering the lost loved one after a while, but others can not let go. These are the ones that need our love and support the most.....

There are so many levels to love. Friendship starts this list off. Yes, it doesn't seem like it, but we do feel love towards our friends, this is what helps us get along so well, and why we miss them when we don't see our friends for a long time. It's also why we hold certain friends over others no matter what happens. Sometimes, the bond between friends deepens to the point where a stronger bond of love is made, making them family.....

Speaking of family, we also have a very special type of love for them. Even though we do things to our family members that can drive them crazy, and sometimes we don't even like some of our family members, that bond is still there. It's this family bond level of love that brought about the phrase, "blood is thicker than water." We will do things for our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, and children before we would even consider doing them for anyone else. This simple family bond can even extend to include our pets, amazingly enough, and that is a good thing.....

Love causes less stress, heartache, less misunderstandings, less of just about anything negative. Love does reap rewards like happiness, health, peace and joy and so much more that is positive. Isn't that what we want most out this world of ours? Wouldn't that be a much prettier picture?....

The phrase, "love makes the world go round" is very true. It's is our driving force, for whatever reason it may be. Poems, plays, and legends can only briefly touch the true meaning of love. We can only feel what that meaning is, and express it in ways only we can understand towards one another. The true question we should be asking is not what is life, but what is love....

What is love? I don't know for sure, but I'll do what I can to express it to my family, my friends, and to every single pet I have or ever will own in the best possible way that I can. Remember what I said about love being so powerful that it can turn all the ugliness into the most beautiful portrait Well it is not impossible, and we can all help to paint it or we can at least try, and thereby making our world into a much more beautiful place to live in. Think about it.
