Chained By Love

Value in the word love is a concept that is becoming foreign to people.

People use this word freely in everyday conversation; and, as a result, the expression behind this word diminishes.

Many of us are using the word love and not having a complete understanding about the meaning or power that the word has.

Now, young men tell young women that they love them in order to just have sex with them.

There are young women telling young men that they love them just to receive materialistic items from them.

We don’t understand how powerful this word is.

Love is caring enough about yourself to go through the process of getting tested and making your partner doing the same.

Love is mother working with her last bit of energy to secure a promising future for her children.

Love is parents holding their children accountable for the decisions they make and teaching them about the value of respect.

It isn’t the boy that gets a girl pregnant and walks away from his responsibility.

It isn’t a drug dealer supporting the habits of people that are allowing addictions to have control over their lives.

Love is more then a word it is security, its real, and it’s something that has value.

It is ok to be chained by love as long as it’s real and meaningful.

A person shouldn’t love someone because it sounds good; a person should love someone because he / she means it.

Love is doing the exact opposite of what it should be doing these days because many of us young people are confused when it comes to the meaning of love.

It hurts me to conduct a small research and discover that an imitation of love is killing people.

This imitation of love is causing people to navigate away from real love.

We cannot continue to be chained by this idea of what we think love is; we have to know that love is real before we pursue it.

One for the week: We can’t keep deceiving ourselves because if we do we will become our own oppressors.
