why are we compelled to love?
what is it about this most dangerous of emotions that attracts each and every one of us?
why do we long to feel the emotions?
why do we expose ourselves to the heartache of rejection?
why do we allow ourselves to be drawn into a situation that could tear us apart?
why do we crave the feeling that love brings?
are these feelings and emotions worth the potential risk?
the risk of being drawn into a warm sense of belonging only to be pushed out into the cold of loneliness.
is the feeling of being loved worth the pain of being hurt?
the feelings of foolishness, of self doubt.
the feelings of worthlessness and the pain of sorrow.
there are so many types of love, the love of a partner, the love of a child, the unconditional love of a parent, the love shared between friends, the love of a possession or the love of a pet.
it can be the most wondrous feeling in the world to be loved, and the most painful too.
we all search for love in one way or another, but who knows if the love we find is ever true?
