Equation of Love

The words i love you are truly shallow and superficial. Modern day love is nothing but merely simple infatuation. People don't really love one another they love the thought of another loving them. Love is timeless and selfless. Love is not just loving another human being, its loving all things. We search for another to love us because we lack the knowledge of how to love in general. Therefore we do live lonely worthless lives that feel like a everlasting void. Even with money, fortune, fame and a human "saying" I love you, we still walk the earth feeling unfulfilled. Because we truly do not know the unconditional love received or given to or from us. How many selfless acts do we really act? How many people really love as is not as i wish it to be. We truly are dreamers of the dream unseen. We dream of something very few ever experience. Love really is a very simple equation. But in this equation we must have the formula to completed it. That is where most of the world fails. We lack the formula to the oh so simple equation of love. People allow life to dictate their love. What people do in life and have in life is how we decide the worthiness of our so called love and who we "love". At the end of the day we always get it backwards. Love should dictate life. So are you wondering what is the complicated formula we all seem not to know? If you are i can teach you, as another has taught me, and my teacher is truly the greatest teacher of all time. My teacher said the formula to the equation of love goes as follows:

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13

So there you have it. That is the true formula to the complicated equation of love. If one person can learn how to love like that, and there on teach another, maybe just maybe the world would finally be overcome with bliss and not pain, with happiness and not sorrow, with meaning and not a constant void. How many people do you know love without envy, anger or jealousy? Here's a funny one, how many people do you know that love without keeping account of wrong doings????? I no not one single person!! Not a single one! And on that same token i know not a single person who has received that same love. We set love up to fail by simple expectations alone. Even if we as man kind can never love exactly like that, i challenge each and everyone to at least attempt. I believe if we at the very least attempted to follow that formula that would increase our odds of true fulfilling love to happen to us and makes us more capable of giving it to someone else which is more important of the two. The selfless act of giving that love to one who knows not how to give it to us may just in time teach them how to love you just the same... just maybe.
