“Do not pity the dead Harry. Pity the living, and, above all, those who live
without love.”
~ Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Yes, you can live without love. That is the fact, but there is no life without love. I do pity those that do not understand or want to love others. It is what truly makes life worth it. From the begining we are designed to love and be loved Its' also a two edge sword, this need to be loved. Though I grew up in a loving home and Christian thought of being loved by God, I was always looking for more. I wanted the Eros (romance) love from all. This brought heartache for years.

It is the Agape and Philia love that has become so important. It is the difference between life and just living.

February is the month of love and Blogher is asking us what our stories of love. Written as part of the NaBloPoMo February blogging prompts. I didn't want to do every day's prompts but it is fun for a few. Pin It
I absolutely LOVE this!!! I too, used to want to be loved by "everyone." Not romantically... but it still wasn't healthy! Now a quote which I really love is this, "To the world I may be just one person. But to one person I may be the world." I LOVE putting my focus and energy on my family - where it belongs... A Life of Love is so much richer and more fulfilling this way! :D
