in search of true love

The search for true love has been one of the most important journeys that a human being has ever taken, if not THE most important. What is it about love, that drives us to look for it? to go to great lengths just to find it. To the be driven by a desire beyond himself, sometimes to the point of insanity to search for it, searching, looking..journeying to find this treasure that only few will ever find. I have always been intruigued by this thing called love, for it is part of our humanity. Even the coldest among us, the pessimists and yes even the players..those who do not believe that true love could ever exist will at one point yearn for the true love. Love has been describe by so many people in so many different ways yet to some it is still an enigma. Why? Because it completes us, for it is the very essence of our humanity..to love and to be able to love in return. To fight, to go against all odds and yes even to the point of sacrifice. Deep words isn't it, but I do know this, that in todays society, love has become overrated, just like some word in some movie or script..without passion, without intensity...without meaning. People like you and me are looking for true love and yes sometimes in the all the wrong places, ,mistaking attraction or even mere lust for true love. There was a song I heard many years ago that discribed love as a verb..and action verb. You make that choice to love, to love inspite of the differences, the shortcomings of that person, to accept that person for who that person really is, without condition. Pretty complicated you might say, too idealistic too. But yes, such as love does exist..it exists in each of us for it is part of us, for those who have not experienced it before, for those who have been pained, for those of us who have been abandoned by family, lovers..friends..there is such a thing as true love and faithfulness. A man who lived two thousand years ago showed us what true love was like..that it meant sacrifice and faithfulness, and yes it was done just to show us that we too can love others like this and that true love does exist. To the players who are reading this, well call me sentimental, call me too idealisic..call me a fool. But I hope one day you'll all realize that in the end, you're the one's who are hurting yourselves. Blessings on all of you.
