Castlepalomaposted 13 years ago
All animal love, love conquer all, Love makes good sense. Define Love: When two people or thing, are stronger together, than apart. Take with you the attitude of gratitude, along with many little acts of kindness. Most people do not love what they do for most waking hour of their lives. Loving what you do is the most common thread to mastering life.

There are many different kinds of love. My ultimate love would be, love of a romantic woman. For now. My daughter enhances my soul the most; some other person's ultimate love may be God. Some odd people may be their Dog, God spelt backwards is doG. Why not, if both of you are a little weird yet compatible; life's is a little weird; we live in a mutual weird world.

We have loved people and things since arts and culture from began in the dawn of mankind 30,000 years ago, long before religion was thought of.

Take Christianity the largest religion in the World Your condition for love is where you must be devoted to must obey, must worship and love God ultimately above all kinds of loves. Yes, most people are not aware of Jesus, only 3% Christian go to church. That means only 1% of the world’s people is devoted ENOUGH to Yahweh love, by ritual practice to win your lottery ticket to heaven. Too many conditions for love

So, is all you need is Love?

  Yes all we need is love what ever the shade. Love is a powerful healer, powerful motivator and a powerful sustainer. In whatever shade that it exists we are then all powerful.

  Very intuitive. If all the shades could understand they are the same, to varying degrees, the love might expand exponentially.

  Love is the key, to a happy life. I fell in love 20 years ago and could not be stronger. That love for each other, has helps us through many trials. The love for our children and are families, could not fullfill us more.
  I feel very blessed, love is a beautiful thing. If everyone in the world, could experience love - peace would be within our grasp.

  That depends, it can go both ways.
  
  Yes, love can bring immense joy and pleasure for many, but on the flip side, it can also deliver excruciating pain, depression and tragedy, it can summon up powerful hatred to the point of causing wars.

  pennyofheavenposted 13 years agoin reply to this
  Not Shakespearean no. The others yes. We were however talking about the loss. The point I was making was when feeling love, it motivates loving actions. When another emotion is present it will motivate different actions. I know of no one that can feel two emotions at any moment. Unless they are confused.
  
  If you want to go on to what drove them to do other things we can go there. I would just need to reread the stories because not every detail is etched in my memory.

Love is a conscious decision. We create it and give it. We also find it and receive it. But we must look for it and understand it. There is love everywhere but many eyes are blinded by outward appearance. The man who opens the door for an old woman is exhibiting love. The daughter who goes out of her way after a long days work to deliver a package to an aging mother is exhibiting love. The store clerk who gives 2 reward points instead of one on a take of gas is exhibiting love. The person who picks up a paper wrapper on the hiking trail and puts it in the trash is exhibiting love.

It's everywhere. Everyone shows it in a different way. We must look for and recognize it. The world is fast and furious but if you know where to look, if you have eyes for love, you will see it, feel it, and experience it everywhere.

  When I asked groups of Men, what is the most important word in the world? -Most men will give different answers, other than love.

  The Alchemists of Tao believe that we have yang energy when we are born and at the age of 15 we have both yin and yang energy in perfect balance. After that age the yang starts to dissipate. When we have no more yang energy we die. Since Yin is the feminine and Yang the masculine perhaps this is why you can sense the feminine as you age.

  Maybe this is natural. Basic instincts from days gone by.
  From the times of old. Goes back to the caveman.
  Most Fathers were seen as providers. And..
  Someone that is responsible for maintaining safety in the home from outside forces.
  The one most responsible for our survival.
  
  And they instill that in their sons.
  
  Wives and mothers brought comfort and a sense of stability to the home; to the children and to the provider.
  And Love is the most important ingredient for comfort and happiness.
  Mothers instilled this responsibility in their daughters

For me it's love and Money. I have plenty of love around me, but, it would be a whole lot better if I had money to go with it. You don't really think money is that important, until you end up with almost nothing. And no income.

You will also find out how fast the love stops when the green in your pocket is gone. I'm very blessed to have many friends who have stuck around, while others have quietly walked away.

But, it sure would be nice if we could all just live on love, and pitch the idea of money in the trash. But, it's never going to happen. The rich would not be too happy to walk away from their vast wealth. Can't buy a new mercedes on love.
