A life without love
is a waste.
Should I look for
spiritual love, or material, or physical love?
Don’t ask yourself this question.
Discrimination leads to discrimination.
Love doesn’t need any name,
category or definition.
Love is a world itself.
Either you are in, at the center…
either you are out,
yearning.

I suppose I grew up learning that love is a verb. It is something you do – not an emotional feeling.
And there are different kinds of love…romantic love, which can be physical and emotional; friendship, which is mental; unconditional love – spiritual, nothing expected in return; and the type of love a parent has for a child.
I don’t know if I discriminate between them, but I know the difference. Love is an action.
It is true, that: A life without love is a waste.
This is great :) Love…so splendid and so clear.
Either you’re in or you’re out – as far as love goes and coming from a loving place – this is so true.
I am in.
