Love is Not About Being Useful

Love Is Not About Being Useful

Love is not about being useful.  It is not about being stronger or wealthier or more beautiful.  Love is not about efficiency or productivity.  It is not about numbers or keeping count.  Love is not about loving a faceless crowd.  It is about loving one unique person at a time.  Love is not about avoiding pain.  It is continuing to care for another despite the hurt and difficulties that comes along.  Love is not about controlling.   It is about true freedom.  Love is not about lies.  It is about being true to oneself and one’s desires.

And since loves is like this, love is never an easy thing to grasp.  Love will always include taking chances and making sacrifices.  Love will always require that we give everything, for nothing is truly worth living for in this world save for LOVE.
