If you say so. Personally I think its overrated. It doesn't get you anything. Fear and hatred seem to be more effective.

LOVE is the highest value. A value is something you seek to obtain because you cannot live without it.
Our emotions follow our values; our strongest feelings follow unbidden as naturally as breathing.
We either consciously choose our values and end up feeling strongly about the things our mind selects among the best possible....
or...we allow a default, non-reflective and passive backwash from our surroundings to program what we value. In that case we
may find ourselves falling in love with the people and things which destroy us.
If what we LOVE makes our life richer, more profoundly felt and happiness follows thereupon we have chosen well.
If what we LOVE makes us miserable, depressed and hopeless we haven't chosen at all; we just let the doors and windows to our brain wide open and whatever crawled in....crawled in.....
If you don't have a reason for why and what you LOVE what you love.....your brain may as well be a doorstop!

Terry, you must have been a nightmare for the average householder LOL.
someone needs a hug . . .
You're probably right, I am cranky right now. Anymore I think love is the only emotion that can be used to take advantage of other people. Everything from sticking with this accursed religion due to the love of family, to women being pampered on Valentines Day. It really is a screwed up emotion, this love thing. Its a four lettered word, that should be in the same category of other four letter words.

Love is: Beer, football and women (the order depends on the day of the week).

I believe love is the most amazing emotion, but there’s a catch – you have to love yourself before ever being truly able to love another or to truly be loved by another. Not the self-love that springs from narcissism or from pushing your own ego fuelled agenda but truly knowing who you are and what that entails. When that happens, you can learn to distinguish those who also know themselves from those who fool themselves and a real bond of love – whether romantic or otherwise can develop. A person who loves themselves knows how to protect themselves and when to walk away from a potentially toxic situation that never really had anything to do with love in the first place. Real love is not hearts and flowers – it’s quiet, strong, present and honest.
