A writer.... John Donne, wrote a poem titled " No Man Is An Island".
He is wrong. Every man is an island. Like the islands of Hawaii, they make up humanity. But each is one and it's own. It's difficult for me, Dan, to realize that. I always had it one straight way or another. I was raised one way, others are raised another. As life goes on these things even change some. Every man is unique. Like a snowflake, each has it's own specific imprint. Having a brother and all that, you would think we were very alike. We are not.
This difference can be used for good or bad. This why we are to love people, cause we are all weird. I have a tendency to close my door, make sure it is locked, then walk to the outside door and sorta swing it open, then take the 3 steps to my door and check it again to make sure it is locked...... right after I just checked. Weirdo, you are, every time.
Today I was reminded of that. In a question, once asked to someone, it was asked...." i c, well what is "showing love" to you then?? "..... the answer for this person is...." showing love to me, is caring for the person deaply and trusting them compleatly. also telling them you love them, and doing things for them or just saying little compliments. also, it might be more in my fam then others, but we sometimes show are love by picking on eachother (yeah we a weird bunch). n being respectful also. and loving the unconditionaly."
Ok, this person is not myself, and they don't have the greatest grammar. Still the answer is easy enough to decipher, Dan. To them, they see showing love as these things. Me, I'm a guy, I'm more touchy feely too.
Also, on my travels, sometimes love was told to me, in being submissive, not walking out on a person, sometimes, well in middle eastern places, it seemed love was just doing as you were told..... though that was taken sometimes way too in a more domineering way. But there were so much diff ways people express love. That is only love..... sheesh.
But before we judge people and decide "Oh they are wrong, they don't know anything. That's not what (whatever word /emotion/action ) means.They are mean and etc......" Well, honestly, just need to shut up and listen and learn. We are each an island, we have to figure out how we fit with each other and realize, we don't own the world nor do we have the "right and only way".
Love is....... encompassing, when focused on others. Gosh I missed that lesson a long time coming. Sorry AE(S?). I messed up. Sorry others too.
Hey, well a real writing...... ahem... cough.... Peace, Love , Blessing......
