God is love. If that is true then love cannot be a chemically induced emotion. God is not made of flesh. We are. We dont talk about love until we feel the effects of different chemicals in our brain that we are addicted to. Literally like opiates. The idea of love without emotion is abstract to many of us. Movies and books draw us in like crack dealers to crack. The high only lasts so long and then you come back down. But it is addictive. Different people love different things different ways. How do we love something that we feel no codependency for? How do we love without emotion? Love based on the basic principle of appreciation takes time. Meditation. In our fast paced world we miss so many things. Take so much for granted. Take our planet for example. Self sustaining. Perfectly positioned from the sun and moon. Home to trillions upon trillions of life forms. Yet we take it for granted. Family. Heavily taken for granted. Our bodies. Neglected and abused. The list goes on and on. If we never slow down and learn how to appreciate what is already here then we will hit rock bottom and no form of rehab will cure us. Our existence will be futile and mundane. It is up to us to do what is contrary to the stream of society and fulfill our purpose for something bigger and real. Albeit intangible.
