Love

What is the greatest gift someone could give you?

Love, the greatest gift of all.

I have been loved, and have loved too. I have lost love through death and indifference.

Heavy stuff this love business. It has inspired great works of art and started wars.

What is love? A chemical imbalance? Addiction? A mental condition? I’m not sure I know. Does anyone? You can’t buy a tube of it or force someone to love, it’s just there—or it’s not.

“It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all”—a famous line from a poem by Tennyson. I suspect he had loved.

Love is one of the passions of life along with its opposite hate. Both create the same physical reactions if you think about it. Some say it is easier to hate than to love. I think it depends on the sort of person you are.

Oops! We’re getting heavy again! I think my dog loves me, she follows me everywhere and will literally sit behind me to watch nobody sneaks up on me.

So can an animal love? I think so, though some will disagree. I just know that no matter how shitty a day I’m having, there’s someone pleased to see me at the end of it!

If that’s love then I’m happy with that.
