Understanding the Power Of Love


The Power of Love

 We speak freely of the power of love but do we understand its meaning?  Love is different from sex and from beautiful women or men.  It is a beauty that dwells within each of us, and it is our responsibility to discover it.  Beautiful things need to be pursued if we wish to discover them.  In the case of flowers we can reach their colorful loveliness only by pulling the weeds that obscure them from our view and choke them.  Numerous treasures are buried in the earth, and we need to dig them up before we can enjoy their beauty.
.
We know that we are surrounded by all kinds of forces.  They too are waiting for us to unveil them or to keep them latent, so that we may use them if they are beneficial. There are also forces hidden inside us.  It is through love and work that we can feel them.  Such forces are not the privilege of a social class, or of a nation.  A woodcutter, a shoemaker or a homemaker may very well be endowed with more of these positive forces than some world famous personality.  More than one Einstein or Pasteur are probably hidden somewhere among us!  People are often unaware of their potential, and they need an outside event or effort to release it.

Could we really take seriously a new Leonardo da Vinci or a new Jesus?  People would prefer to select a new car model if given a choice between a Madame Curie and an automobile.

From birth, each of us carries various potentials ranging from kindness and love to disease, and from great intelligence to sheer stupidity.  It is in our power to actualize some of those potentials.  This realization depends upon our lifestyle and our daily actions.  The laws of nature that we keep discovering are not eternal.  They become valuable only to the extent that our knowledge increases.  As a consequence, these laws can be extremely variable.  The same principle holds true for nature, which encompasses divergent forces.  Once they are understood, they can be used appropriately.  The education we have received is far from adequate, because we are manipulating the wrong tools with it.  It is not always the "good" which brings us happiness or the “bad which saddens us.  Feelings provoked by grief or melancholy, joy or pleasure, help us sometimes discover the true meaning of "good" and "bad".

There is much depth in your article. I believe we all have untapped potential within us... potential that maybe we don't quite understand. I do believe that the laws of nature are eternal, but that we just don't understand them completely.

Love is very powerful and you are right as it comes in many forms. Though I am sure we all have hurt from this powerful emotion and learned from it also. Positive thoughts equal a form of love. Nice article. :)

Madame Curie is a little too radiant for my test and a new Jesus wouldn't come along because we are experts to debunk con men, now, if it is the real thing...that's another box of beans.
Love has kicked me in the shin so many times that I won't play anymore, so, power and kudos to it, but far away from me.
