When they say ' I love you'...





One of the commonest phrases we get to hear from people who profess to care about us is these three words 'I love you'.

It has become so common in usage and often bastardized that we no longer even know what those words mean including many who profess it.

A lot of people say it at their moments of ecstasy and happiness and as soon as those feelings fizzle out, so do the words.

To such it means nothing more than feeling good. But in reality is that all those words mean? Just an expression of some good feeling or is there something more?

When someone says 'i love you', this is what it is supposed to mean;

-I am kind to you.

-I will forbear with your weaknesses.

-I believe in you.

-I hope for the best for you.

-I will not be envious or jealous of you.
-I will support you.


-I will trust you.

Love like this NEVER FAILS.

When next you say to someone 'I love you' pause and ask yourself if this is what you truly mean or if anyone says it to you,  check it out and see if the above listed is what they mean or not.

The Crisis of Identity.

When we went from placing value on what really matters to just external things humanity fell so hard and broke it's back. The impact of that fall is why we have so many people with low self esteem and terrible identity crises. Much more than failing economies, hunger, disease, widespread poverty is the crisis of the individual.  The crisis of seeking validation, of feeling some sort of worth and value. That inner questioning and probing that requires an answer. Sadly many people do not have the answer to that inner question. They then turn to things, all kinds of external things and invite them to come in and answer that inner man. Unfortunately the externals can't do so. They lack the capacity to answer those questions and the individual in a bid to either answer or silence that question seeks more of these externals and at every point they keep saying No, we don't have the answers. The individual is now confused, what do I do? Then he sights another human li...
