THE DYNAMISM OF LOVE

The word LOVE has been bastardized by many. People abuse this word recklessly out of their inability to distinguish between emotions and lust. The sexual libido is so reactionary that it puts people into euphoric conditions, thereby brainwashing them into believing that what they feel is love. That is emotions or better still infatuation. Love as an internal feeling is characterized by the feeling of selflessness. It involves being deprived for others to have. It's the tendency to give our lives for others to live. It involves giving without expecting anything in return. It does not look for reward. It is satisfied by the desire to do good.

I once asked my girl friend who claimed she loved me whether she can donate one of her kidneys in case I needed a kidney transplant to save my life. She could not answer the question. After that she learnt how not to use the word love carelessly. This love is hard to find. Agape is the best form of love. It can be best described as God's love for mankind.

When people feel romantic or erotic they misinterpret that to be love. Sexual urge are triggered by a lot of chemical reactions in human body. It creates sensational feeling that is very difficult to be described. This is not love but simple biology. When next an opposite sex confesses love to you check out his/her emotions towards you to understand whether it is lust or infatuation. This true love can still be found among people.
