We had a workshop with our project participant women in March this year where we wanted them to tell us what their dreams were. Guess what they all said" Wish my husband would love me more!" I don't know what love is all about. But I feel thatMeerahttp://meeratales.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783129196655831049.post-64941271965483331902011-11-11T13:55:39.496-05:002011-11-11T13:55:39.496-05:00Wow @Rene, Julie, Trevor, Dragonpat, First, Starle...Wow @<a href="#c5772371070273599444" rel="nofollow">Rene</a>, Julie, Trevor, Dragonpat, First, Starleigh, Beth, Najafoodie, Michiko, The Gaelic Wife, Kay, LE DYNAMIQUE PROFESSEUR, Didi, Dosh, Tonilicious, Thank you all for your insightful perspective on LOVE, I have learned a lot that has opened a channel to viewing things with a broader eye.

Love is a being... Therefore, its alive! It has to be lived - day by day; in bad times, in good times, rainy or sunny days. Love, in the concept of God is laying down one's life for the other.

My opinion is that if it's the action of love then the person wouldn't belittle or cheat or abuse or self-abuse. The Bible also says, "Love thy neighbor as thyself."

Abuse is using the concept of love to put yourself in a position of power where you then abuse that power. Abuse is not love, it is a manipulation of another person’s love. Abuse is opportunism. Love can be hard, but it doesn’t ever exist in an abuser’s heart. Abusers are selfish and love their own needs far more then theyStarleighnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5783129196655831049.post-68281284652887878012011-11-05T09:18:09.080-04:002011-11-05T09:18:09.080-04:00Hey!I’m just another "Blog pilgrim", pas...Hey!I’m just another "Blog pilgrim", passing by.I’m compelled to leave my thought on this matter.

But the fact is that there is no such thing as a norm for relationships… atleast no cosmic one.
