What is Love?
Love...one of the most common word in the world, but not as much common in people's hearts.
Love , as True Love can not be confounded with infatuation. Love is only one, simple, just LOVE.
I am sure many of you saw and heard the words "some love", or "warm love"... can you imagine just "some love" not entire Love? Or can Love be cold, or warm? Is Love limited?
Love is a sacred mystery. To those who love, it remains forever wordless...
Love is the essence of every fiber of ourselves that we give to others unconditionally...
In the lines below i am trying to offer you some of the most wonderful examples on what Love, True Love means.
In one of the schoolrooms of a school there were several children. One of them asked: "Teacher, WHAT IS LOVE ?"
The teacher felt that the little one deserved an answer that would be up to the intelligent question she had formulated.
Since they were already in recess time, she asked her students that they went around the school patio and brought with them what more awaken in them the feeling of love
The children rushed out and, when returned, the teacher told them: "I want each one of you to show me WHAT YOU BRING WITH YOU..."
The first student answered: "I brought this flower, isn't it pretty?"
When his turn came, the second student said," I brought this butterfly. See the color of her wings; I am going to place it in my collection."
The third student added: " I brought this little pigeon that fell from the nest."
And so on the little ones, one by one, were placing on the table what they had picked up from the patio...an so on...
After finished the exposition, the teacher noticed that one of the girls had brought nothing, and remained quite all the time. She was feeling ashamed because she had not brought anything. The teacher turned to her and asked her: " Very well, and you? Have you gotten anything?"
The little one, timidly, answered: " Excuse me, teacher. I saw a flower and felt its perfume; I thought to pull it up but preferred to leave it so it would give off its aroma for more time. I saw the butterfly, soft, colorful, but it looked so happy that I did not have the courage to imprison it. I also saw the little fallen pigeon among the leaves, but ... when climbing the tree, I noticed the sad look of his mother and preferred to return it to the nest. Therefore, teacher, I bring with me the flower perfume, the sensation of freedom of the butterfly and the gratitude I observed in the eyes of the birdie's mother. How can I show you what I brought?"
The teacher thanked the student and gave her the highest grade, considering that she had been the only one who was able to perceive that we "can only bring love in the heart."
"Love is patient; love is kind. It does not envy; it does not boast; it is not proud. It is not rude; it is not self-seeking; it is not easily angered; it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." (I Corinthians 13:4-8)
Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other.
