Hi Echoes of DPS,
I once wrote a poem about love and it was called What is Love. It has been many years since then and I have yet to figure it out. I wish I could find that poem and share it with you. I was asking what is love, how do you get it, and do only people deserve to have it. What makes those standards if that is the case and who decides these standards? It is very close to what you are asking.
I might be one of the younger ones in our system (I'm 9-10) but I have been through many hardships and I guess I have shut myself shut to the whole concept of love. To me, it simply doesn't exist. All I feel is the anger and rage, the hatred towards society. However, if you are one of the lucky ones in the system, they would say yes! There is a such a thing as love, it does exist; even after all they have been through as well. To me this concept of still believing in love is mind boggling.
Our host once believed that she was in love, but recently I can feel her falling out of love for her so called man of her life. She noticing things that just shouldn't happen if there was a thing such as love. It is hitting her hard and she is really torn now. She hears him say that he loves us constantly, but I think now she is really starting to question this whole concept of love.
A profound thought just came into my mind. Does one first have to love themselves to see what love is? If you don't know what love is or believe in love, can you love yourself? How can a person love one's self after all?
I guess what I am trying to say that love can be taken very many ways by very many people. I don't know if there is a wrong way or a right way to perceive such thing as love. I think ones understanding and beliefs in love has to deal with your experiences in life; including loving yourself. For me, there are no loving experiences and I don't love me. For Sky, the world is raining love and she is happy with who she is. For the host, love is borderline right now and I don't think she loves herself either.
Sorry for my rambling,
Molli
