The Greatest Mystery Never to be Solved

          Love is a need. Everybody wants love, but having a foundation of love in our lives is quite necessary. From the day we are born we are instinctively loving toward our parents. As we grow we thrive on love in order to be healthy and happy. Love shapes us and forms us. The lack of love also shapes us and forms us. Although love is a necessity, our desire for love creates an empty space when we do not receive the affection and care from others that we seek. This desire for love leads to bad judgment, poor decision making, and settling for less.

          An individual who is loved properly from infancy through adolescence will have a greater chance of finding love as an adult. Those who do not experience love as they should during their younger years will struggle with giving and receiving love later in life. Why do we look for love in the wrong places? Why do we love those who hurt us most? Love is the greatest mystery that will never be solved. The concept of love is difficult to comprehend. Love has a textbook definition, but can love really be defined? I believe the definition of love varies from person to person. Find a person who has the same definition of love as you do and then you have found true love. 

          Love sometimes chooses us, but we also have the power to choose who we love. Never make love decisions based on impulse. Matters of the heart are so fragile. The heart cannot be understood by logic. The heart has a mind of its own. The heart does not make decisions based on thoughts from the mind. Following your heart can end in tragedy or pure bliss. Making the wrong decision is always a life experience. Aren't life's most difficult lessons learned after heartache or heartbreak?

           Love makes us weak and love makes us strong. Loves makes us and love breaks us. Love is a contradiction. It is needed, but is difficult to find. Love is withheld when it should be given. It is given when it should be withheld. We fall, we hurt, we heal. Seek love and find heartache. Love finds you then leaves you. Love causing pain is common. To find love and keep it is rare.
