Are you a lover?

Question

The recent posts on love are somewhat disturbing.

Please offer any reasons of why one human should love another, or love all other humans.

P.S. are the Christian West and Muslim East loving each other right now? Is a bomb a way of showing your fellow man that you love them? Are republican and democrat Americans showing each other love with the vehemence of their politics? Are the majority showing the minority their love with their discrimination?

I am truly curious about this notion that people perpetuate called love.

When love is perpetuated peace should sprout from it. However when two continents have their own ideals the love between the two is hard to attain because of two different ideology and instead of peace and understanding there is contradiction resulting to conflict. Nonetheless the love you are aiming is ever absent in this situation. How we really love that such conflict must be solved to attain the world peace is always a wish. When there is war among countries the love will remain a problem.

Definitely bombing is a way to destruct the lives and properties of a particulary place or country. Where there is the presence of war ultimately a ceasation of trouble or war is the outcome. However, this is just temporary because in the minds of the children vengeance is their next moves. There forefathers will indoctrinate to the young minds the way to avenge their forefathers in the name of Nationalism.

Love is therefore in the air waiting to succumb man for an eternal peace.

I am a lover of nature. Have a nice day!

A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.

After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.

Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.

I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.

I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.

If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.

I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.

Love and blessings

Love is just a human emotion that can throw a wrench into everything! Just look at history and the problem is everywhere. In the old testament did Adam eat the fruit because he loved Eve? That is a very good question, I cannot it figure out. My personal experience in loving women. Well lets just say it threw a wrench into my life!

I am beaten and broken in the figurative sense, so if I call myself a lover then there really isn't much to it for now. I'm just so very tired of it all. I'll just say that Love is God, and Love never fails...I'll leave that to be that...
