The subjects of my love
Thursday, January 17th, 2008
Love is such an easy subject to be difficult. I often feel like I love everything equally. But then is it really love? For there is no contrast to distinguish it. To know love, mustn’t you know it’s contrast, it’s opposite? Perhaps just knowing the opposite is enough to define love without having to hold it’s opposite. Some say there are shades of love like there are shades of gray, but I try not to discriminate between the shades, or the subjects of my love.
The issue here is Semantics. In English there is only one word for love where as in Greek there are five words for love. They help deliniate the different types of love. The highest form of love is unconditional, selfless love that lays down it’s life for the object of its love. Makes it hard to say I love Ice Cream!
Grace and Peace,
