Affecting Affection of One's Affection

The challenge which unrequited love presents is such that one of two outcomes will happen. Either the cause, the reason and all the intentions you once had of love fade away and you move on, or you learn to reapply your love so that the ungrateful half does not become your life.

No one likes to love a stone. To love a stone if they do not want to have your love is difficult. You have to either have the patience to teach them love, or if they are entirely insistent on having you removed, to move on.

The duty of a stone is to communicate true feelings. If you want to cause a person pain be vague, be ignorant and avoid them. You may have love one day, but it will never be pure love. Your love will be tainted with your cruelty toward your fellow man and an unnecessary and foolish selfishness. If you never express true thoughts and feelings how can you expect anyone else to pay you true love? Only a fool would.

Those who are most successful and enjoy their time the most are those who communicate and who actually spend time of quality with another. These are those who have passion, but are not so imprudent that they will jump into any bed.

Affection affects. One changes their life, how they act, how they love, their character and their activity. If you want to survive, if you want things to go well you have to be attentive. You have to show your affection by wanting to live not just by your own means and priorities any more. Love is sacrifice, pain and suffering. If you want to get depressed, go fall in love. If you want to get hurt pay too much love to someone that does not love you. If you want to injury someone, pretend you love them.

We still live in a material age. Aesthetics, cosmetics and how you look and what you wear do matter. Anyone who tries to believe otherwise or live by other beliefs lives a lie. Materialism is a factor in this world and it always slips one’s mind no matter how great you think you are for believing in attraction by personality, intelligence, emotion, etc. You have to be able to admire a person for all their attributes of mind, soul and body. Everything. If you only focus on one aspect of the picture you’ll miss the point and you’ll never see them. Never. You do not know them and you can forget about appreciating them because you don’t know how.

Love is too often mistaken for lust and affection is misused and misplaced. I have heard it said we live in the philosophical age. No, we do not. we live in a confused age. Paranoid, over critical, obsessed with contemporary genius that does not even exist. People of this age too often assume that love speaks for the world and that love and peace is a great thing from mankind and shared by humans alone. We leave no room for God, we forget what love is and we do not know how to really show it. We forget that God gives love and peace. These ideas do not exist without God and they do not come from man.

We keep trying to change the way we suffer (love) because life requires us to. Love doesn’t change. It is what it is (whatever that is). Sometimes we learn new ways of changing our views of it, of new ways to have and share it, but these ways have always existed. We often say without realizing it that we change love, but we change not love. We just think we’re special when we discover different avenues of love from our human perspective. We always fall too short of grasping the full affect of love. We think we know and we think we want to know, but we don’t need to know how love works. Just like we don’t need to fully know how God works, because God is love. We are perfectly aware both God and love exist and are capable of believing in them. (Not everyone chooses to.) We just need to know that it is a great way to suffer and trust in it accordingly to the need to share such affection.
