..& then God created Love...
oh, wait. or is God Love?
What, what? What truly IS Love?
Sigh...did you know there are over 6900 living languages that exist, and they all have a translation for the word love, or their most cohesive definition of the elusive word? I think people spend majority of their lives trying to find it, be it, define it, resent it, obsess about it, heck, write about it, cry, shout, sing and dance...every emotional, irrational, and logical name you want to put it, its been said and done and then some.
Past to present to future, you cannot run or hide it.
love is power. love is powerful. damn powerful.
Why?
because we cannot buy it or fake it.. and it makes us feel higher than any man made item created ever. including drugs.
its raw.
love is also soooo completely personal.
your love isn't my love, and the loves i have felt in my history absolutely contain none of your emotions nor stories to parallel.
Trust Me.
but at the end of the day, we call it love.
Today, I, Vera May, learned how to say "i love you" in Icelandic.
Icelandic
Eg elska tig
(yĕg l-skä thĭg)
yes, it is no easy task.
Enough about me...and my random mind blabber, what I am really here to do, is to search high and low...for why and how people feel about the the word love. is it your culture, is it your history, your future, your God, your past, your dreams, your nightmares, your society, your friends, your parents, your ethnicity, your career, damnit, I want to know why you love Love and why you may also hate it, and why at the end of the day you still need it.
I want to know why you define love the way you do.
Like I said. I know, it is very very personal.
Will our passages align in any way...and will all our journeys, as different as they may be...demystify the very word, LOVE?
The english dictionary carefully simplifies it...
