Love in the Universe

We can define love as a feeling. It is exactly what one would expect from a narcissist. It is a selfish, me oriented, definition. It fits the narcissist's way of thinking just perfectly. When you no longer make me "feel" love, I am free to discard you in favor of another who does. It may be romantic or platonic, but it exists in this universe. Love brings about the many generations of the human race. Love is a contributing factor to procreation in human life. Love is an action. Love is something you do. The answer to what love is all about can be found in the Bible. Most of us know at least some of what it says in the Bible: "Love is patient, love is kind." All we have is our willingness to allow love to flow from us to another person.

Let's consider this point. Most of us come into this world because of the love between our parents and also their readiness of having a child.

The mother and father usually feel a special sense of love and protectiveness over their baby when a baby is born. Without any ulterior motive, this is love in the purest sense. A couple's love and commitment for each other keeps the marriage healthy and strong. As they share their lives, this love for each other grows and matures to build their family through the years. Their love usually grows stronger with time. A love that lasts a lifetime is a beautiful relationship. A father loves his baby deeply and he will work hard to provide for him/her. This love that motivates him to teach, discipline, provides for and brings up his child.

Blessed is the child that has a loving father that loves him/her deeply. A mother loves her baby a lot and in all circumstances will consider her baby's well-being and take good care of him/her. Motherly love is unconditional; it is pure, sincere and intense. Most mothers want to see their child grow up well, be healthy and be successful in life. By nature, a baby has this inclination to love his/her parents. The baby feels safe on hearing his/her parent's voice and seeing their faces. As the child grows, with the family bonding, the love in the family grows with time. In a family, there is love among st siblings, which we call brotherly or sisterly love.
