Glatlol: No I dont believe it is, it is courage yes but not love.
eh pardon?
Courage...yes that's a convenient label to attach. But what does it mean, where does the courage come from? How many times have you heard of people performing great acts of bravery in the course of selflessly saving others? Where does that bravery come from?...Think about it.
As for my little mantra...if it's not for you, that's fine, but there is solace to be found in it for some people, I can assure you of that.

bodleing2: Whether you believe in 'soul' is not important really.
But can I ask you?
What is it that drives the firefighter into the burning building to save a stranger? Is that not love from somewhere deep inside? That is the kind of love that matters, not what our culture calls love, with it's love songs and poems...that isn't love at all, that's the opposite of love. That's desire, control and possessiveness. It's manipulation, fear and anxiety. To really love you have to love yourself first, and I mean truly love yourself...that is the hardest part.
I posted this earlier in another thread, but it's worth saying to yourself now and again, the results can be quite overwhelming.
I love you Please forgive me I'm sorry Thank you.
Spread love wherever you go without expecting anything in return, you will be surprised with the results.

I choose to love...and even if it's not reciprocated and pain is it's only reward, I at least feel that I am alive instead of existing in a world without colour or emotion.
