Ep. 8 What does love mean

Do you know?  Who knows? Well, I think I actually have a few ideas for you.

The age-old question: What’s love? 

If you put up on Facebook, "define love," you're going to get many, many different answers. Take a survey! Ask a hundred people today.

What is love? Webster says it's an intense feeling of deep affection. Okay, wait, I love my dog. So I love, or ​Am I in Love or am I just loving?

Is this love a feeling? 

What does love mean in a relationship? 

Deep Romantic, sexual attraction attachment to someone is another definition online, but that still doesn't sum it up. What is love?

I'm going to help you

I've thought greatly about this for a really long time. Many years. I'm a very loving person and there are a couple of levels that I'd like to share with you. I'd like to share with you the human definitions, the emotional definitions and then the spiritual definitions.

Human  

My brother, who has a degree in computer graphics and not psychology, once summed it up better than any I've ever heard and I'm going with it. I'm going to share it with you now--

Love means I care how someone feels

Love is when you care how someone feels. 

Isn't that interesting? We typically think, "I love him because I feel so great around him/her. I love this person, this thing, or this animal." Then we ask,

"What is it to be in love as well?"

I have another post called Am In Love? Check that one out because that's got lots of good information. For now. Do you find love?

Love is when you care how someone feels. 

Emotional 

If your neighbor told you his son was rushed to the hospital, you would probably care. How much would you care? Would you leave work? Would you be sick? Could you eat?

What if your son or parent or loved one was rushed to the hospital. H6-4

How much would you care?

There you go. There's a difference because you don't love my son as much as I love my son. When I care how I feel around somebody or something I feel love. Powerful, but if we switch it around,

How beautiful is this that you care how they feel?

Spiritual 

When you're dating someone and you're deciding if you love them, how much do you care how they feel? How much do you care how your mom feels? One to 10.

How connected are you?

"I don't like my mom!" A lot of people tell me that. Then that person is at a 2. They don't really care anymore. I had a friend who didn't go to her dad's funeral.

She doesn't care. 

She had so much hurt, she didn't care how he would have felt about her presence.

How much do you care for my mom? I care about how my mom feels. 10! How much do you love my dog? Huh? You don't really care if my dog is sad? I do. I care so much about how my dog feels, it is a bit sick.

It's almost scary.

I care so much how Tink feels right now, that if she was cold I would collapse.

Daily Thought 

As you go through your day, ask the question, "how much do I care how that person feels?" Even your grandkids!

How much do you care how they feel? 

That's how you know what love is. 

Please give me comments below and feedback. I'd love to hear who you think you love and what you've experienced and how you switch it around to really know what it's like to care how someone feels.
