How to Love

At the foundation of learning how to love one another is the idea of what love is. By every aspect possible we all have a different understanding of how to love because our perceptions and internalization of what love is varies so widely. In fact, so it seems, is why we become so wonderfully cheerful with one another as we fall in love with someone and begin to learn how to love them in the ways they are most receptive. We learn that she likes chocolate and hates to dance, and as a result she has turned down every man who has asked her to dance and paid attention to those who delivered flowers and candies to her. This learning how to love a specific person and gain their admiration through our learning and expression of love is often referred to as "THE CHASE!" We humans love the chase! We are seemingly built for it. So much so that as we become older and wiser we begin to accept the fact that we cannot CHASE everyone whom we may have affections for. Because at the foundation of it all if our individual understanding of what love is varies so greatly from that of whom we admire, then our understanding of how to show love may never match that person's receptiveness to that type of love. Although Mr. and Miss Right might be out there for you, the gift of love that you have to offer isn't for everyone! Remember, the love that you have to give is unique and special. Chose wisely!
