Happy Valentine's, dear friends.
When it comes to love, nothing has changed, since man was born he knew what that indefinable emotion is. Our need to be loved, our need to love, to care for others is the strongest emotion, in my opinion. For without love, kings would not exist, man would not stop going to war to save the lives of the people he holds dear. Without love, women would not risk their lives to bring new life into this world. With great love, there is also great sacrifice, it seems.
So, I celebrate today, just to be able to let you all know I cherish many people and on this day, I am thinking of all the people who've touched my life with love and positiveness.
I LOVE YOU!!
Honestly speaking, I never gave that sentence much importance and often even felt embarrassed saying it.... That is, until my daughter never let a day or night pass without her letting us know she loved us and waiting until we repeated it back to her... She horded her 'I love you's' like a miser.
Yet today, perhaps it has to do with age or confidence, I truly do love regardless of the other persons love for me and express it freely. Or perhaps I am no longer afraid to show that I am vulnerable, and saying I love you comes naturally to me and makes me feel stronger rather than weaker.
And I have discovered that those simple words, even when one is angry have such power to forgive, to forget ones hurt and yes, those words sometimes makes us melt and wrap our arms around the one we love and hold them close to our hearts. Action speaks louder than words, wise men say, but this one sentence, sincerely said, sometimes has all the power to make us feel humbled and make us just a little less selfish, make us willing to set aside our personal ego and pain. In any language.. :-)
Love is really all we need, to make this beautiful world of ours a better place....................
Love and Peace, my friends. Wishing everyday is a Valentine day :-)
