Some people are so incredible, in their talents, in their expression, but most of all in their souls, that they leave indelible marks on our lives. Marks that will remain there forever, perhaps long after the person is gone from us.
Some people understand love and how to express, practice it, how to multipy its effect. How to be true friends and exceptional lovers.
Through the years of our lives we touch and are touched by many people but when we meet the lovers in life we are forever changed. The force within them, love, is the greatest force in the universe.
They are the people who know how to give and receive love. The ones who just seem to know how to encourage us or simply how to listen to us when we need a sounding board. They are not distant or uncaring during the times we aren't on top of the world, but the world is on top of us. They are the ones we can tell any dark secret to and know that they won't judge us but will still love us. They are the people who have no hidden agendas and give us their love simply because it is their nature to love and to support others. We carry their influence forever in our hearts and on our lives.
I've always felt there are two basic kinds of people, the givers and the takers. The givers are often taken advantage of and devalued but the givers are the ones who shape lives and hearts and make this earth a better place. The takers take and use to get what they want and to achieve what they feel is success. They may reach the top of the ladder they choose to climb but they are shallow and soon forgotten. Lovers, givers are unforgettable and their memory is carried forever in the hearts they have left their footprints on. Even with the suffering it sometimes brings, I'd rather be used than a user, rather give than take. Rather take all the risks for love.
La Belle,
My, you have written a very powerful piece here. Yes you are absolutely right, there are two kinds of people in this world, givers and takers. That is the basic difference between all people. I would rather live a humble life and be a giver of peace, and love, than be rich and have to take all the time. But remember this, life should be a balance between giving and taking...I would rather put it this way, sending and receiving...Peace, Love and Light to you,

In a post-coup America, an Illinois farm boy is drawn into the resistance by his brother's death. Captured, he is given a choice: betray his friends, or the girl he loves will be lobotomized.
