Regardless of age, culture, language, or race, all humans have a hunger for love. If that hunger is not satisfied, they are not happy. A medical researcher wrote: "Love and intimacy are at a root of what makes us sick and what makes us well, what causes sadness and what brings happiness, what makes us suffer and what leads to healing. If a new drug had the same impact, virtually every doctor in the country would be recommending it for their patients. It would be malpractice not to prescribe it."
Jesus Christ, who had a profound understanding of and a special fondness for humans, put love for God and neighbor at the very heart of his teaching. He said: "You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind. . . . You must love your neighbor as yourself." (Matthew 22:37-39) Only those who followed these words would truly be Jesus' followers. Hence, he said: "By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves."
Love is all these things and more. It is a bond and yet it is freedom, love believes and yet it is unbelievable, love is everything yet it is one.
Love makes other things seem less important, which they are. People often put too much energy into the wrong things because something is emotionally lacking in their life.
Life is difficult. Love smooths out the rough edges. In other words - it makes life softer, kinder, stimulating and bearable. Just my humble opinion.It depends on which love we mean.
If we talk about love in this physical, material world, where we "love" something that is good for us, gives us pleasure, satisfaction, fulfillment, then this love is just an indication that that particular thing, or person is desirable for us.
But if we talk about "true, spiritual" love, when we become capable of leaving our own feelings, desires, in order to feel, and satisfy the desire of another, that love can change our whole existence.
love is an all rounder........
