Love

I am pondering what love is and how it works. Only in the English language can we say, "I love pizza" and "I love God." The meaning is totally different. So those are fairly straight forward but what does it mean to love your husband? You kids? Yourself?? and how do you love those people. One answer I would want to answer is unconditionally, but is that possible? truly, be honest, possible? I would have a hard time saying yes. I would want to love unconditionally but when you are hurting, it is so hard to forgive, forget and continue to love. Ok, technically, I know it IS possible, but it is really, really hard to do.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedi

a

So I think to most interesting thing is love can be a noun or a verb. Do people get those two confused??

Can you "Love" (the verb) even when you don't "Love" (the noun)? What if you are mad at that person, what does love look like then?

These are just few questions I am pondering today... and every day... :o)
