You love chocolate…
and busty blonds or bulging muscles…
cute furry animals…
your brother or sister…
your mom and dad…
your lover or spouse…
How can the same word have such different meanings?
Scientists tell us that passionate/romantic love is nothing more than a chemical cocktail that combines nerve growth factor, testosterone, estrogen, dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, oxytocin, and vasopressin.
I say this chemical cocktail is truly an elixir of the Gods for this love potion works divine magic on humanity, literally modifying our character, making us more flexible, kind, thoughtful, considerate, creative, generous, receptive and responsive to our beloveds. Love is truly medicine that fortifies our soul’s true purpose on earth: To perfect our ability to love others.
People think of love as a feeling. I say that love is an action. In order for love to survive and thrive, you must actively appreciate the goodness in each other each and every day of your lives.
But that is easier said than done. Because no matter how similar two people are conflict inevitably erupts in all intimate relationships. It is how you handle your conflicts and the negative feelings that go with it that will determine whether your love makes old bones or sadly ends up in the bone yard.
As humans, we must eternally strive to keep overcoming and surpassing the hurdles that life throws in the path of love. Each day we must work to keep love alive in our hearts, treating the gift of each day as yet another chance to perfect our ability to love more perfectly.
