Love and Relationships

Love is often an indescribably and always intangible thing, that while some cherish, others do not. It's no mystery that creatures all over the world sacrifice unimaginable things for others they love. Emotional intelligence is in this same category and requires a great amount of it in order to at least accept and understand the power of love.

People have been using love as a weapon for evil since our existence with cavemen or more intelligently the Egyptians. We were all led to believe in a greater being in that their love will show us kindness; at the same time enslaving them and spreading a fear into compliance. Love is a difficult thing to control without fear. The primary thing love gives us is hope, if it wasn't for this, what would we live for? Fear is what forces us together, to band for a common cause or benefit from each others' existence, but love does quite the opposite in that it instills trust.

A "prerequisite" to love is trust, when we refer to "consenting adults." Knowing a mother's love is more along the lines of care and worry. Although this occurs with couples, it is a nurtured love and not an innate one. We innately love our children regardless of their mistakes, misfortunes or greatness. This sounds so obvious, but it's ignored still today even with all the knowledge of the world at our fingertips. Lest we forget the role of the mother and the father and its play on someone's livelihood, namely our children. But where would all of this be if not misplaced when the relationship between wife and husband is broken?

A truly happy family requires all of the relationships within it to communicate and co-exist without social whiplash regarding consequences according to action. Each person must know their role and how they contribute to each person to fuel their relationships together. Families should by symbiotic and ever expansive to incorporate many circumstances to encompass everything in their lives ahead.
