Yet, I don't like 'using' my imagination when it comes to reality; knowing is almost always better. First there's no love incarnate, so, it's a hypothetical question; probably only realizing the same kind of answers.

Yet, I don’t like ‘using’ my imagination when it comes to reality; knowing is almost always better. First there’s no love incarnate, so, it’s a hypothetical question; probably only realizing the same kind of answers. Much like the words God, hope, etc., love is bally-hooed so much, yet, if we study it it’s simplicity of life in motion itself. Does a toddler not love, or have love? No, they simply do their best, one foot following the other; especially with caring through to loving parent or rents. If we choose to make believe we know instead of discerning, we have to study anew, begin again, what is that; certainly not love- no? In our technocracies sociological programming of us to replace our humanity with exigency, etc., being the norm, we forget each word is a path of study; which serves to evolve us- off by a millimeter, soon off by a mile. Of course ‘departmentalization’ of life, out of us, etc., as well as all other machinations of convolutionaries, etc., are the main ource of lack of experience of giving, getting love. I know I say it alot, yet, still, the intellect can’t lead, for the life doesn’t follow. When we choose the life must follow our intellect’s it’s to our life’s disadvantage, and, of course our intellect’s as well. “…We(e),…”, succeeded to do our best last moment, latest hour and day, that’s experiential knowledge that we’ll do it again in the next moment, hour, day; call it love or whatever, yet, it’s experience- of the life, not the intellect. Then there’s the people who make garnering of ever increasing supposed profit, pleasure and power in ever-increasingly cyclical and centralizing patterns from the ‘use’ of the word ‘love’, in specifically the way your question does; they suggest they know what “Jesus would do”- him being ‘the Prince of love”, etc.. As well, there are the “revolutionary love crowds who ‘use’ love in other ways. Like they say they’re for revolutionary love. As well, just because I study the real teachings of Jesus, the “Prince of Peace” doesn’t mean I’ve ever actually walked his way; though, at times I’ve tried to resemble it. Of course, since love is first and foremost an emotion one has or doesn’t, it’s reality can’t be successfully questioned and is also subjective; so, lots of room for interpretation and projection. Myself, when I feel love, then, I could more successfully answer that question; and, also, I feel a sort of meta-love all the time- which isn’t directed at anyone, rather all life, the Cosmos, the Earth, Gaia, Great Spirit, God, Buddha, etc.. I still don’t want to project what “love would do” because the intellect can’t lead as the life doesn’t follow. For, love is not a thing, and is also not separate from anything else; for e.g., one can be irritated at someone they love- even angry. The truth of what someone feels shouldn’t be projected; the real ness of love within our lives is central to who we are and are not- no place for make believe, no? We forget the elements, ‘let a smile be your ambassador’, etc.; luckily trees don’t forget how to be trees, and the importance of that to the world- or, we’d all already be dead from lack of oxygen, etc.. Simply, walk in nature’s balance, giving back to her abundance.

But love also balances this with boundaries because self-love is important for thriving too. Sometimes, if a person has become a trauma trigger or has made a person physically, mentally, or spiritually unsafe, the best thing to do is to love from a distance. Forgive, but don't become a doormat.

Sometimes, if a person has become a trauma trigger or has made a person physically, mentally, or spiritually unsafe, the best thing to do is to love from a distance. Forgive, but don’t become a doormat. Pray for the person and send positive vibes their way, but it might be best to do so as far away from the person as possible-for the sake of your own safety.

I love the quote from Corinthians. 1 Reply TeriB12 months agoTeriBCherish, Support, Guide, Understand, Laugh, Teach…. 2 Reply Gerry12 months agoGerryRomantic love? Generic love? Tough love? Spiritual love? Unconditional love? An article I read this morning, “I don’t need an enemy,” affected me greatly. Understanding this, practicing this idea of having no enemy would unite us in all aspects of love, allow us to come together to settle differences with respect, whether personal, national or global. 3 Reply Antoinette12 months agoAntoinetteGerry!

The summary was that it is not always clear what Love would do. Sometimes the harder choices are not between good and bad, but between good and good. But it is always the question to ask. Because I Corinthians 13… 2 Reply Rebekah H.12 months agoRebekah H.Love would do whatever is true, honorable, upright, and pure in a given situation, even though sometimes painful and difficult. Love is active. Love “does”, toward myself and others, who are also “my self”. 3 Reply Anneclaire12 months agoAnneclaireLove would change the world … From 1 Corinthians 13 (NRSVCE) The Gift of Love Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends … And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love. 10 Reply Trish12 months agoTrishLove completely changes the world.
