Haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii jingle bells!...how are we?
here we go...but read from post one on this topic to understand it better...ok!
"The word love in the English language anyway, is used in widely varying ways. It may mean the desire to be loved by a particular person, it may mean sex, it may mean fear (as in the fear of losing one who is precious), it may mean a focus on another person or thing or event that involves the embrace of the meaning the object of love has for the person loving the object.
This last type of love is the kind of love that allows a person to care for their enemy, or sacrifice their own physical well-being or emotional comfort for the well-being of others. This kind of love can help a person to persist in a circumstance in which there seems no way of surviving, and to push ahead until they survive against all odds. It is the embrace of the meaning of one’s own life.
This kind of love looks for the context of the object of love. It never stops looking for context, and thus is more objective and practical than just about any other emotion. This kind of love can and does effectively resolve our fears, in as much as our fears always come at the expense of a sense of the context of our circumstances.
God is this kind of love.
One may love God, and this love affords the person a sense of one’s absolute meaning, in as much as God is associated with our life’s origin and purpose. When one feels loved by God, they feel one with their life’s meaning and purpose. This self-harmony may generate a palpable feeling of peace, even in the face of great trouble"
