True Love
As clear as day it hit me during a “conversation” with a friend…. true love–the real deal–is attaching the amount of worth to a person that says, “Regardless of the consequences, regardless if I lose you, regardless if you hurt me, regardless of the pain and suffering I may endure, I choose you over myself. I want to know you and want you to know me.”
In turn, hate is the opposite. It’s that disregard for another person that puts you ahead of them or simply does not attach value to them. In the context of the conversation hate would be “Getting to know you or letting you know me isn’t worth the pain and suffering I may endure as a result of losing you, you hurting me, or other consequences I can or cannot forsee. I choose me, my safety, my emotional well-being, etc, over you(rs).” In short, selfishness and arrogance.

Love is an emotion that we all share. like sadness, pain, hurt, joy. i believe it’s not just love that is so amazing, but bonds. bonds are what hold everyone togeather, and when an emotion of love is introdiced, it becomes something all the more amazing. love is love, we all feel it. but it’s not the love it’s self that is the “real deal” but the form of bond. actually. love does have many deffinitions, or at least that people use, they can be argued, and supported.

okay - here’s my question - what if you love some one - ( or well at least think you do ) and that someone is not safe for you - or you child - and you choose your safety - emotional well-being etc over pain, lies, debt, etc. Does that mean you still can’t truely love them, but hate the things they do?
I obviously have some love issues!! We may have to discuss this in dept more - : ) what else are big brother’s for?
