So, what is love? In short, love is energy. Of course, defining love as energy doesn’t sound very appealing. It just doesn’t seem right to place love in the same category as your electricity bill and what you lack after running your first marathon.
To better understand love, let’s first discuss a few misconceptions. Love is not a thought, or an action, or something we do. Certain beliefs can lead to awareness of love, but it’s not love itself. Acting lovingly, such as helping a friend, is admirable, but it’s not what love is.
At some point in our lives, we’ve all seen a person holding a sign with some variation of the message God loves you, whether it’s at a sporting event, parade, or street corner.
Whenever you use the word love, you risk stepping on all kinds of landmines. Loaded with assumptions, expectations, and traditions, love is not easily defined because it means different things to different people at different times in their lives.
