Does Love Matter

I can probably write all day about this post; Does Love Matter? Yes, I believe it does and I will explain myself fully. This subject could go on and on, about so many aspects of life involving love. I think we will have to break it down a bit and put this in categories and then expand.

I wonder if anyone is able to get through life without love. I really do not know of anyone, myself. As far as I can tell, we humans are pretty much the same, with the same desires, needs, hopes and dreams. We all need to love and be loved. Why do I ask “Does Love Matter”? Let me explain, if you will. The Nun, who never marries, loves the Church. The woman or man who decides that they will not marry, still love their Mom, Dad and siblings. Those who live alone for one reason or the other, loves their animals. As I have said, I really can’t think of anyone I know, who does not love someone or something and if there is any doubt, I hope to fix this question; Does Love Matter?

From the time we are born we are taught the emotion of love. Even while in the womb, we are crunched up in a closeness and when we are set free, most infants take very little time bonding with Mom. Now there are methods that people use to bond before birth. The love that we receive as children, I believe directs our adult life and the fact that Love Does Matter. In the olden days, parents were afraid to show too much love; meaning they held back (fathers did, because moms thought it a good idea) hugs and kisses as they did not want their children to get the wrong idea. A lot of this has changed and parents outwardly show more love because we all know that the more love a person feels, the more secure they become. Praise is second in command as it also adds to the feel of confidence and generates why we know really, without asking; Does Love Matter? There is a difference in parents who absolutely go over the brink and let their kids rule the roast, so to speak. Too much of anything, is too much!

Do I think there are levels of the human needing love from another human? Yes, we know that every person living has different levels of desire for love in their life. We may again want to ask “Does Love Matter” when we see someone who lives alone and you can’t see their love for anyone or anything but then why does it help when a small child appears out of the blue and you can see the tenderness and love flow from that person to the child. Folks, Love Does Matter. I have seen children grow up in a family without siblings; they, sometimes, are lonely people and have a strong desire for love. I have also seen the opposite exist, they cultivate a life of being alone for the most part and like being along. I have seen children who have been rejected by their peers, become loners and end living alone. There are many instances that differ but still in the end; does love matter? Yes, because I still do not know anyone who does not love someone or something.

There are individuals who live alone go to work everyday, spend 10 hours a day on the job, go home and spend another few hours working. Get up and repeat the same….these people love their job. Does love matter in this case? Yes, because they are giving out something to someone; their boss, their company and it is for praise and recognition…it is love of being good at what they do as they have nothing more important in their life. Is it healthy? That is a matter of opinion and is another subject.

I know someone who outwardly cannot admit they love anyone (except their Mom). He jokes, plays around and most of the time it is like pulling teeth to get those words out of him; I love you or I love her. It is jokes and more jokes…and he will ask, what has love got to do with it? Do I believe that he doesn’t love anyone? No, I believe he does and it just makes him feel vulnerable to say it. He gives the most beautiful cards to his wife and helps her around the house in ways a lot of men do not. People have different expressions of love and one has to recognize it. Does Love Matter? Always….and forever! There is some excellent reading here
