With the ascent of Valentine's Day on February 14, 2010, many persons will be honoring their special someone with chocolates, flowers, "teddy bears," greeting cards, entertainment, and very special celebrations. Hopefully, the intent on using material things that the marketplace offers to consumers will indicate the level of love relationship that one person has for another person. When you ask individuals what their definition of "love" is, you will probably find as many definitions of "love" as you have individuals being asked. For some persons, their extent of "animal love" is fed by the multi-media advertising on what "love is." In these cases, "animal love" may mean I will love you if. The "if " clause becomes the barometer of satisfying "animalistic love." The lustful instincts seem to take over the "head and the heart" with "lower anatomy" concentrations. The unfortunate result of such "animalistic love" is how quickly as option for long-term relationships is excluded. The "quick fix" or the "the mentality of I want it now" drains such "animalistic love" from being meaningful and from having any substance.
On the next level of love, "human love," you will discover a full extent of emotions that may be deceived by the impulse to obey every instinct of the "emotions" control box. Emotions are good in and of themselves. Sound emotions will vary in number and in intensity with each human being. However, recognizing the value of effective and good emotions will bring about an "empathy" that really values the worth and the dignity of the human person from a holistic aspect. Human love has been in existence for many centuries and in many cultures. How that human love is expressed will depend on the totality of the unique human being who is expressing their will to extend human love to whomever will be a willing and positive recipient. Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts know that human love when well intentioned and well expressed could lead to a greater love, unconditional love with "no strings attached." To wish the best for each unique human being by living a life of love, not selfish love making, accentuates the positive actions of AIR, CARE, SHARE, AND BEAR. To have a friend who actively listens to your expressions of positive communications means a friend who is willing to listen as you AIR your emotions, whatever they may be. To CARE means that you empathize with your friend and attempt to understand their expressions of their life of love in action. To SHARE means to be OPEN and HONEST with each other in all aspects of being a human being. And, when you BEAR the mountains and the molehills of your friends concerns, you are carrying that person with a love that is priceless. There are many persons who have made a lifelong commitment to AIR, CARE, SHARE, AND BEAR with their friends in whatever capacity that their relationships may exist. Your measure of human love giving means that you will receive human love in return without any price tags or "if clauses."
The ultimate level of LOVE is the LOVE that the CREATOR OF ALL LOVE offers. Our definition of God, the Supreme Being, is that GOD IS LOVE. Since human beings are made in the image and likeness of God, the human love actions that are expressed reflect our human beings' respect and admiration for the UNCAUSED CAUSE OF ALL LOVE. DIVINE LOVE IS ALWAYS TRUE AND FULL OF WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING. DIVINE LOVE IS ALWAYS CONSISTENT AND EQUAL TO ALL. DIVINE LOVE KEEPS ALL PROMISES AND COMMITMENTS.
