The best things in life are not things. What are the best "things" in life? A rainy day, the sky painted pink with the sunrise or deep blue with the sunset, laughter, family, friends, love. So many "things" make life beautiful what makes them beautiful is a deep love. Love has many forms, in a world where romantic love is exploited the other types of love get overlooked. There are so many ways to show love. Love for nature in the appreciation and conservation of it, love for family by being supportive, love for friends in being inclusive and always listening. These are not the erotic, romantic love that we so often see in movies, but a love all its own. A love that is constant and unwavering unlike the fleeting feelings of romance. This is not to say that romantic love is wrong, not at all, this is to say that other types of love are more often than not overlooked and under appreciated.
Love is such a complicated and multifaceted idea that I can't cover it all or even simplify it to a blog post. Instead I'll stick to what little I know of love. So a list maybe, to simplify the very little I know or think I know about such an enigmatic topic.
1. Love is in all things
2. Love is beautiful
3. Love is hard
4. Love is a double edged sword
5. Love is not simply romantic
6. Love can be blinding
7. Love can be eye-opening
8. Love is easy
9. Love is simple
10. Love can't be broken down and simplified into a 10 point list
Allons-y!
