I wrote this today, just thought I'd share:
Many people see love as black and white. Either you love him/her, or you don't.
That isn't how it is; love can be confusing. And love is not always limited to a person of an opposite sex, or to sexual intentions, or even to an abstract feeling.
Love can be quite tangible.
For instance, my love for skating can be seen in the scabs, scars, bruises, and knots covering my skin. My love for body modification can be seen in the many marks and extra holes adorning my body. My love for certain people can be seen in my undying affection and care I insist on force feeding them. My love for animals can be seen in the non-existent amount of flesh I eat. My love for this planet can be seen in the gentle ways I treat my enviroment.
As you can see, most all of us love much more than we realize.
There's things most people should love. Things like animals, the earth, they sky, the stars, the very air we breathe. Most don't, or do and take it for granted.
Like I've said, love in an ambiguity. By definition, it's "an expression whose meaning cannot be determined from its context." If an outsider, with no knowledge of the concept of love, were to look upon the society's example of love, he would either not know what it was, or would think it were something it's not.
You see, love is much less dangerous to relationships than you think, and much more dangerous to an establishment that bases love on fear then we ever thought before. Be a rebel and love something. It's fun, easy, free, vegan, straight-edge, and addictive, so everyone can do it. And besides, the world is lacking in love in these modern nights of war.
