How Deep is Your Love!
Take a few moments and think about how you perceive, receive, and give love.
After you do that I want you to think about the values and morals that you were taught as a
child. For example I like taking the time to think about my
values concerning love because I like to measure how deep my love is towards others. Love is measurable however a perfect love cannot be measured by length or
width because its roots run deep. It doesnt matter what happens it remains stable and fix.
Sometimes negative
experiences cause us to love less; and good experiences cause us to love more because we dont want to be hurt again or we are trying to recapture an old love feeling. Perception
and experience should never determine how we love others but sometimes it does. I have discovered that it is
very unhealthy to view love through negative experiences. How other people treat us
should never affect how we feel on the inside. But sadly it does. In the movie The Grinch who stole Christmas; the
Grinch was not always a Grinch; in the movie starring Jim Carrey the Grinch
was brought to town by the stork; he was different looking and
this caused some of the other kids to begin to make fun of him. It wasn't just his looks. It was the fact that he liked Cindy Lou Who; and he just so happend to be green. His experiences with the other kids made him feel like an
outsider and this caused him to develop an outsider mentally. They rejected him and he decided to reject them by being detestable. What would have happened if he decided to accept reality but refuse to let reality turn him into a detestable person. Being destestable made everyone dislike him and his experience changed him into a horrible person.
In the end Cindy
Lou Who’s love and acceptance for him caused him to believe in love again. Her kindness turned him from the Grinch who wanted to
steal Christmas to the Grinch who restored Christmas.
Has your experiences affected your ability to love?
