People say they are in search for love. Some don't say it at all but it's written plainly all over their actions and relationships. It is perhaps the most strong desire in the world... the want for love.
But I propose that if you indeed own this way of thinking... then you really don't understand love at all. It is not in the nature of love to be self-serving. So that thing you are searching for cannot fully be understood because you've already set out about it the wrong way... I'd argue, love finds you.
I believe humans only have the capacity to love because it is indicative of a larger truth. Surely our existence and joy cannot rest on the messy type of love humans offer. Our expectations will always be higher than any human can dare dream to fulfill. However, the love shared throughout your daily life gives glimpses into a much larger purpose. You were created to be loved... but if that were true, why do so many people strive and fight and struggle to find it? Why does society prepare you for it throughout the different stages of your life? And yet even when people believe they've found it... divorce is an ever-present threat that looms in the backs of our minds. Perhaps we aren't looking in the right place people. We've sold out for something cheap and shiny that is completely hollowed-out and holds nothing.
I know I struggle to find love... because it has already found me. It already holds me and I often refuse to take notice. Because that means I'm actually worth something... that I hold the utmost value.
How alien in a culture that demands I strive for something to receive the payoff.
Times like this I wonder how someone could find a God like that offensive.
