You cannot put a price on love. You could be the richest in the world, but without love – there is a greater chance that you will only be miserable, I feel. And I express this, coming from a point of someone who comes from a very loving family, my mom and siblings (3 bros and little sis’) are very supportive and they are the ones who propel me forward, my pillars of strength. For someone who has experienced love, I feel I would be greatly miserable without my family (representative of love). Maybe for someone who has no idea what love is or someone who wouldn’t say, for sure, they think they have experienced it – maybe they'd feel otherwise. However, some people are found to resort to material things to try and fill the void and that’s their own thing, but does it do the trick or is it just you fooling yourself to try and ease the pain? A trait, love is persistent and very powerful, it prevails over thee most bluntly unbendable things there. Prior to 19 years ago, the Republic of South Africa had laws and policies that had it be anything but republic, but through love, many people endured torture in fight for it to be and people like Steve Biko, Hector Pieterson, and others, sacrificed their lives even. And I live with no noose around my neck of a new constitution that has me and everyone else in the Republic of South Africa free to spread my wings by virtue of BEING, and I am very thankful to every one of them.
We all love being loved, we all love love. Even the person who may be dubbed ‘thee most evil in the world’ wants to be loved. There are instances of evil that can be attributed to love as the reason behind the act. I am not saying it is right to do bad if it is out of love, evil is wrong – no question about it, but there are bits and pieces of the evil deed that may stem from love. A case of somebody who turns to crime to try and provide for their family falls into this category. I trace it back to love of somebody who goes out of their way to, usually making a complete disregard of the consequences and the people affected – which is very inconsiderate, make it as easy as possible for their beloved. If one could observe the idea of people who have themselves turned into human bombs (suicide bombers), life is of great value and the act of self-bombing could be only out of love – whatever the reason that surfaces, I strongly feel the initial reason is love. Though an evil act may come from a place of love, I think about it and I find the whole idea rather self-serving; the person committing the evil act is acting selfishly towards the persons who wound-up adversely affected out of it all (victims).
We can learn so much from animals. They are very loving and protective of their offspring and us humans, we dismally fail to do so, yet, like them, we act on instinct – but (even better) ours is coupled with rationale – we should know better. Hence, I feel it is of vital importance and stress WE SHOW LOVE TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER, and genuine love (please people) – otherwise, feel free to go cold on me – I do not like being misled. And I’m down on my knees I’m begging you *singing Ayo's song* - PLEASE, LET’S REFRAIN FROM USING THE WORD ‘HATE’, IN LIEU OF THAT, I SUGGEST WE GO ‘I do not like that thing…’, unless the subject is really that gruesome and deserving of the term, because ‘HATE’ is a very strong word – it could break one.
