there is no love.
This is not meant to be a cheesy Valentine's Day post. Just something that was reveled to me last week sometime.
So, to have love there must be sacrifice. First forget about the human/personal/relationship definition. Let's say you LOVE CocoKrispies. You have to sacrifice eating other cereals like AppleJacks, Trixs or any other sugary breakfast goodness. You also would have sacrifice some of your health and well-being.
What if you LOVE a certain car? Let's say the new Chevy Camero. If you truly LOVE it, you will probably own one. In owning a new Camero, you would sacrifice some money (about $25k-$45k). You would also sacrifice the ability to haul a trailer or move plywood.
LOVE your wife and kids, there are sacrifices to make. LOVE God, other sacrifices to make. The word 'sacrifice' kind of has a negative connotation, but it's not negative. It is just a trade of one thing for another. For LOVE, it means trading something you don't want for something you do want.
With LOVE, you must sacrifice. They are sometimes easy sacrifices, sometimes they are more difficult. I am not a 'perfect practitioner' of this idea, but being aware of it may help?!?
