Coming to terms with the reality of love

by Anelisa

We need to love and be loved no matter what age because when we stop loving we stop living. Love is life. The saying that love makes the world go around evolved after much life experience in humanity. No matter how much we have been hurt or how often, we still must have faith in love. Wisdom in love leads us to find new ways to love and be loved.

Everyone received the amount of love he or she deserves. So it says in a book of love written about a century ago. It is no different today! We are so consumed by wanting to be loved that we don't stop and think about how we are loving.

How easy it is to say I love you. So often it is a joke since it doesn't come from the heart nor with the commitment. How unjust this is! Our love may not be open, potent, nor irrisistable. It may lack honesty, virtue, or gratitude. It may not be sublime!

Some men die without ever truly loving a woman or ever being loved by a woman.

Lucky are those who love and be loved. Lovers need not fear lightening, cyclones, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, fires, asteroids, or any other earthly or other fears from the universe. Lovers are envied by those who are not in love and give joy to all. If you want to conserve and preserve the fire of your love for eternity then that love must be the jewel of your life. That fire must always be bright and give light because an enemy of love is boredom.

Our times and our world today is drunk with sex which is not love but a means to express the love we have in our mind, heart, and soul. Sex is the physical expression of love but empty without love. It was no different in the past but we may be the first century who is so ingnorant about love. To love for an hour is animalistic. To love for a day is typical of men. To love for a lifetime is like the angels. To love only one woman is to be like God.

Many have loved with all their mind, heart, and soul only to be betrayed. When this happens we need to be consoled by the fact that you can fall in love again. There are many people out there who we can love and be loved by them. Just be open to love every day?

Insults can kill love so we need to watch the words we use even when we are so hurt and angry. Shame has no place in love because it is the light of all lights which brilliantly shines forever. It is the heat which warms the coldness within us. Love is so very sweet and captures our total being.

The woman a man loves is always an angel who is also a mother, sister, daughter, and lover to man. A woman who does not love is not a woman. She may be beautiful but like plastic with no feeling. This explains the emptiness and sadness many men and women feel today since their life is full of casual and sexual encounters.

From the moment men and women say I love you, their relationship becomes a temple where the sacred fire of desire must be nourished or it will simply stop burning. There has to be a balance between suffocating the fire and not having enough air to continue the flames. To reach this balance is the secret of loving for eternity.

Desire in love is like a bird taken from the nest and given to a child to hold in his hands. If the child feeds it too much it will die.

I will love you the same always many times may be the biggest lie of all. One loves always in different ways every moment, hour, or day. Love transforms itself as life changes. When we're young it is so very hot which is the fountain of youth. This is the force which will keep it going.

The alphabet of love is that every kiss and caress is different and unique. Shaking hands is a symbol of friendship but holding hands may be the first gesture of the conquest of love. The touch of a hand may radiate love more than a kiss on the lips since holding hands tightly is the most innocent of expressions of love. How many times a woman may say to a man by holding his hand that perhaps she may love him.

Love is like the sun which rises with grandeur and sets with rimorse. Love is like a flower and marriage is the fruit. You can't have one without the other and they go together like a horse and carriage.

Love is the joy of all joys, the gem of all gems, and the treasure of all treasures. While we equate many times beauty with love we must remember that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Desire is there irregardless of all other factors because love is above all virtues.
Woman desires to be loved and to the man she is beautiful and feels the attraction to her body. She too sees beauty in his form and is attracted to him. Both must love with passion!

There is danger when a woman satisfies all the desires of a man in one day, month, or year. Lovers will die without ever drinking the last drop of the fountain of love. Love must continue to be a mystery. Couples communicate that sense of mystery as they look in each other's eyes.

When a woman sells herself to a man, she is to be pitied but when a man sells himself to a woman his manhood is destroyed.

When you love, a kiss is worth a thousand letters. A look is worth the same. Being apart can bring pain and suffering but it can also be an awakening of how much you love the other. That love can be sustained through letters, phone calls, and all forms of modern communication lovers never had before. Flowers and gifts say keep saying I love you. Separation will excite the hope that you will be together again and when that happens it will be fantastic.

Tears can express that one will wait for the other but sometimes it can express that enough is enough. One needs to make that distinction.

To ask for nothing and to have nothing is another lie of love but such encounters will be not having love at all but just glimpse of temporal pleasures. Love is the most precious thing that cannot be bought or sold. To think it can is an illusion.

Woman must never give all her love at once. She needs to give much and continue giving for this is the secret of being loved forever.

Most of all no matter how scientific love can be, we must remember that love is an art. It is the greatest wealth of all richness in all times. It is the highest happiness we can achieve in our life on earth. Love is the supreme joy of all men and women.

While love is in the air in all times and all places, somehow we feel it more in certain cultures. It may be arrogant and so let it be because in Italy one loves better than the rest of the world because Italy is the land of beauty and art. Take it from the Italian book of love. Viva l'amore!
