Desert Thirst and Ocean: Container of Orange~Juice that Never Empties
Suppose, we are traveling through desert. Our destination is the ocean. Our target ought to be how to cross the desert quickly? Right?
Each of us is given a container/bottle that is strapped at our shirt, on our back, along the spine. The bottle is filled with orange juice. Some of us are not endowed with hands; they are armless. So they can never unstrap this container. Some have containers, but there is no juice in those containers. Some have containers from which flow unlimited orange juice — a container that never empties. If they have a benevolent heart — they may share their excess juice with others. But you must not pose any hindrance/obstruction in their journey. They are trying to cross the desert as quickly as possible.
Each of us is also given seeds of the orange tree in both pockets of our pant. Some travelers stop, and try to plant those seeds in the desert — and wait for the orange tree to bloom. This waiting is what is termed in the world as "romantic love".Waiting, not sure if it is romantic love.
Maybe the individual does not have a strong emotional response to love?
What if they've suffered in the past and are overly cautious with you now?
Perhaps they don't love you, but they don't want to be alone? They are with you but are not serious.
What if they truly love you but are performing mind games to keep you guessing?
Or maybe they want to be "convinced."
This is Earth and in human love anything is possible

I was going through forums and came across this post. We all had a great time exchanging our thoughts here. These words from your post are quite profound and must be understood. Many times, we begin to rely on people just because they are kind enough to help and support us. Let it be emotional support, or whatever. This, however, is incorrect and unkind. We should not take advantage of other people's kindness and generosity.
Blessings to you!When kindness is not returned. It's painful. It reminds me of these lines:
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.
~ Kent M. Keith.
These are some of the words from a very uplifting and interesting poem. I will be sharing the complete poem on another forum.
whatever benefits others is good for the nourishment of our souls. We should help and respect others. So it's always a good idea to stop and and try to plant those seeds in the desert and wait for the orange tree to bloom. Its a long term benefit for ourselves and others. If it will ever benefit anyone, your name will be kept in others good books. It can be termed as Universal Love. 'Love for everyone' not a Romantic Love, in my opinion.
For genuine people respect counts more than love.Bredz, I am not gonna cross that desert without you
You can take my bottle. It's full 
Ha Ha! Loved it ! Okay, two bottles for you. All is yours
I can stay thirsty. Maybe we'll be able to find an orange tree that someone might have planted in the desert. Isn't it true that hope is what keeps us going?
People who have done a lot of good deeds in the world, do get the power to teleport themselves out from the desert.

Beautiful imagination, Aiden.
The real concept behind your words is amazing and genuine. I really loved it! Send out positive energy, and it will come back to you without a doubt.
You have a very creative mind...I had written "Thank you" in the post that now shows Deleted marker. It might have been deleted because it was considered a duplicate post.
Anyways, I thank you again.No clarifications needed, dear friend. I know about these forum glitches. I can still see your deleted comment on chronological tab.
See:
You are always most welcome.
Thank you so much for your kindness. I really appreciate that.
Blessings always!!!
Bitter Truth, Moon. However I believe, there's always two sides of every coin.
The points you mentioned are true. However, It's happening because we are taking love just as a word. Love is, in fact, a verb too. It requires action. As the saying goes, "action speaks louder than words." The same is true for Love. The acts show if you love someone or are taking advantage of them. If there is love, it will be obvious, It will be clear. We don't need words to tell someone that we love them.
It is up to us to discover love in words or actions. Words are deceptive, but actions are not. Make it a verb rather than just a word. And everything will get as clear as crystal.
There still are people in this world who do self sacrificing. But yes, they are rare.
Allah says in Quran:
'Surely We will test you with a bit of fear and hunger, and loss in wealth and lives and fruits, and give good tidings to the patient.'
-- Surah Al Baqrah verse 155.
We have to be patient. Positive energy always brings back positivity.
True Love is only God's Love, yet human love, and thus love for humanity, also comes from Allah. The source is One and that's God (Allah)
Stay blessed, dear sister!!!
Lots of Love to you!
Awww... Peggy, thank you very much. I truly enjoyed while having a discussion on this forum post. Yes, I feel that love should be considered a verb. We talk about love but don't act on it. As it is a verb, it should be expressed in the form of actions, I believe.
Yes, the original post is extremely beautiful and profound. Thank you so much, my dear friend..
So glad you enjoyed it!!
Many Blessings and Love as always!!
