What is Love?

Whew! Am sure some people would be wondering what sort of question this is. Well as ridiculous as it sounds, it is very important. Contrary to what most people believe, Love is not a feeling but an action. It goes beyond what you feel to what you do for the person you have that strong feeling for.

Valentine's day is all about love, but what kind of love do we celebrate on Val's day? Is it really love or lust? Lets not shy away from the fact that a lot umimaginable things happen on that day ranging from attending all night parties to having sex outside of marriage.

Ladies, lets talk one on one here. Why would you give your body that was bought at a price to a man who has no regard for you or even that body you are offering to him? Why would you exchange your most precious gift for a cake, a rose or even a teddy bear. Is that really love? If he really did love you as he claims, would he really want you to do it considering the many risks involved : AIDS, STDs, Unwanted Pregnancy, Abortion ( in case of a pregnancy) ?Wouldnt you rather wait and give yourself to that one man who would choose to do the right thing : Wait till your wedding day ?

Guys, you are not left out in this ! If that young lady was your younger sister, would you advise her to sleep with a guy just because he gave her a box of chocolates or even a car as her Val Gift? Isnt she worth much more than that? If you truly love her, why dont you prove it to her in some other ways like reassuring her of your commitment to her, visiting a place of her interest, etc instead of sleeping with her. There is much more to a relationship than that you know.

Lets learn to do it right ! Because its Val's day does not mean that we should throw caution to the wind and go wild ! Lets really show some love this Val's day by reaching out to those in need, i mean those who have been deprived of true, unconditional love. You might want to ask where to find them, but believe me that person next to you is the best person to start with.

Go show some love !
