What's your definition of love? I think I'm going to start with my definition since I'm the one posing this question. I think love has so many good things in it. When I think of love, I think it has peace in it, joy is in it somewhere, happiness is in there, and commitment. Everyone has their own interpretation on it. Some people think it is a never ending list of lovers and it is revealed that way. Some think it can be obtained with that one and only. I think it can be obtained both ways, however I think its a matter of what two people agree and consent to. I don't think its impossible to have that one and only. If I had my choice, I would want that. I think its the most beautiful thing. When two people can commit to it and stick with it. However I do feel there has to be an openness that allows each person to express themselves honestly. I think again though, that can happen though only if TWO people want it. I also think love is faithful. It does not waiver because it can be seen in the conditional but it completely reveals itself nakedly in the unconditional.
Whomever you think of as loving you unconditionally, that could be your example. Some are great at communicating it with words, and some are great at acting it out with action. Whether it be your mom, father, a daughter, son, grandparent, etc. Your family loves you just because, or whomever in your life loves you just because, that could be a great example. I'm a romantic at heart, so I think love can happen unconditionally with a lover as well. No attachment or benefit other than that person loving you totally, freely, unconditionally. You both know, no matter what, you will both be there for each other, and deep down, you would never try to intentionally hurt the other person, only love them and you BOTH are committed to that.
A love that's committed can trust completely and continue to trust because it has communicated what it wants by example. I was so afraid in the past to reveal all of myself because I thought I would hurt the other person, not realizing I was actually hurting myself. I think probably the most beautiful thing about genuine love is knowing when you find that lover that you can show all of yourself, everything is revealed, yet you're still in a state of peace when you're with him or her. At that moment, you completely love loving yourself even more, when you're in their presence. What's your definition on it? Just my random randomness. Share your thoughts. Until next time, peace.
