There are people who have loved me even when they haven't felt like it. They have loved me out of obedience to God. When they have done as God requires they have felt good that they have done it, knowing God sees. They have then continued on with that responsibility to love, gained the same reward.. and so forth. They have not done it because it initially feels good. They are the people that I consider strong in love. They are informed by their feelings.. but do not lack determination. Feeling and mystical love is good, those who depend on it, however, may not be those who would die for me.
Oh look, you have a follower :o
ReplyDeleteI personally don't believe that someone should be required to love someone for any reason, love is a personal feeling and should never be forced.
YAy thankyou thankyou thankyou for being my follower hahahahahaha... no, really, thankyou, you're the first ahhh.
ReplyDeletelove is maybe logical, psychological and socially ethical. love as a feeling may be what my abuser felt when I was 2/3? People can fool their own feelings.. hence 'it felt right' people can fool their own feelings into thinking it's better to tell a lie. Personal feelings should Never Ever be forced. But if we think, feel, and act with care they shouldn't have to be.
The last sentence in the original post is probably a bit over the top as, in thinking about it, those who would die for me, may do it for reasons other than love I think.
mmmm
