Love conquers all things was the very word of a preacher or writer. Love claims to be the primordial core value of all the religions of the world. In fact in most religion if not all, love is central to their preaching and spiritual life. But if this is the case for every religion, why is there still so much evil in the world?
Or is it that the entire world’s religions have failed to live out love? Or could it be that despite the incessant call to love that breeds peace and unity, followers or adherers to various religions are not doing enough to be loving? Maybe the society has taken the pride of place in the discussion of this foundation that holds every religion. Well if this is the case then I dare to say that all of what our society has bequeathed to us about love is a scam. There is need for, more than ever before for a mind fuck (that is a situation which calls into question the way your mind currently sees a certain idea or the world in general).
There is no doubt that love has got many definitions our society has given it today. These definitions stem from different sources that have become deep rooted in our minds. In this way, our society has presented to us a cornucopian ways of loving as if love itself were to be more than a single thing. And I dare to say that these love definitions or models are not only subjective ones but also selfish or possessive ones. See it for yourself when people talk about love; love is determined when you fall head to heel in love with someone, when a guy is able to foot your bills, it’s a sign he is really loving. You also hear conditions such as if you love me, you will take me out to cinema, Domino’s Pizza, to take ice-cream; if you really love me, prove it until we have sex; if you truly love me, pay my bills, schools fees, cook for me and other ‘take my responsibilities attitudes’ and possessive utterances.
It will be rare or termed strange by this same society to encounter relations out of this conditional or possessive or selfish love. For us to experience, lovely minds discuss about; plans together for the future, working together to succeed, sharing burdens, difficulties, the goods, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful of lives in unison, caring for one lovely soul as if it were for oneself, sacrificing time, talent and treasure without conditions or love of gain. I am cocksure that many individuals will be hostile to my claim. There’s actually no offence. It is due to the make-believe teachings the society has imparted and it can be difficult to let go because they are now in consonance with our mindset. But the truth remains that our society has not bequeathed to us something worthwhile as far as love is concerned.
So, we are all products of this societal scam. It will take a critical mind to pay attention on how tons of love drama or scenarios had evolved. It will take a patient mind to listen to the love stories many “broken hearts” have to say. Many have been defrauded psychologically, materially and otherwise all in the name of love.
But something screams at my face, most of these stories are nothing but sad ones. This is due to the fact the falling in love for the society is aimed at satisfying the self. And there is no gainsaying that this is far from love. Love itself comes from within a being. The love that does not seek to satisfy itself. It only aims at sacrificing its entirety to other beings and not things. This love from within does not only loves the vessel that bears (careful and intentional love of oneself) but also make choice of incessantly ensuring the growth of others.
No wonder Little Cerebos will perceive love as Lavishing Of Value on Every being. Simply put, intentionally or freely apportioning worth or importance on every being. This value is a value that comes from within. It possesses a fragrant that cannot be hidden from those that encounter such a fellow. This fragrant automatically fills others with all the goodness that accompanies it.
It will be pathetic that one will still desire to remain entangled with this societal scam. Perhaps it will take such an individual to experience what is outside the realm of this big societal scam. In this realm; love makes decision; to heals, to conquers all things, to overlooks all things, to be patient, not seek its own desire, and to values all being and other countless things this short piece will never contain. Therefore, let us keep Lavishing Value on every being - ourselves first of course (No one gives what he or she does not have), by this we shall continue to debunk, deconstruct and destroy not only all those scams about love but also other false teachings or doctrines that sell cheaply in our society today.
Happy Weekend dear reader.
Good job there!
