I hate analogies, but if someone beats their spouse, but then afterwards extols their love for them and tells them how beautiful and precious they are. Does that come from true love? <br />These people made a plan to injure people. Not accidentally. It was premeditated. Therefore, personally I cannot take what they say at face value.

If he had not been deported and his organization been vilified?<br /><br />Would those acts have escalated? I do not see any 'love' in any of their actions.<br /><br />With great love comes great responsibility. Others open themselves completely to you in real love, where a word or an action can break them in two. Love brings responsibility towards that person. Love is not self-serving. Love is serving others with your whole heart and exposing yourself to them, trusting them with this gift. <br /><br />Love is not making yourself happy above all else. Love can cause you pain at the same time. I love my kids, but that also causes me pain because I know how fragile life is. I expose myself to that possibility of extreme pain, because of my love to them, but I do not expose my kids to the pain that I feel in that area of my love for them. Love controlled does not equal love dead and it is naive to think that.<br /><br />Love has been bastardized and perverted by our society. This leads to people pursuing their own interpretation of love, because the meaning of love has been lost. Although the pursuit of love has been given paramount status. Therefore we can do whatever it takes to find true love, but are we looking for love, or happiness, or fulfillment, or validity of who we are, confusing that with our pursuit of true love? When you have love. You also have responsibility.<br /><br />AndyAndyhttp://mailandy@yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432734053115127369.post-247114901866482562010-04-18T08:17:28.913-07:002010-04-18T08:17:28.913-07:00Love never fails, Tim.
