Corinthians
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
I started this blog not knowing what to write, but just wanted to write something. I ended up choosing to write about love, because it is one of the valued emotions of mine. Love is very complex as you all know. It is such a powerful emotion that it can lead us to do good or to commit evil. Love encompasses so much in our lives. We can't live without it or can't live with it at times.
I think God can be so difficult at times. Why must He make love so complex, if He meant for it to be so universal? It is an unfair challenge that He gave us. As men, we are perfect because He made us, but we are also imperfect because He gave us free will.
I do realize that even if we were to master the true meaning of love and to live our very best by it, it still brings us great dissatifaction. Why? Because love can also feel empty when it goes unheeded.
I want to make a revision to God's definition of love... I think it should read:
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres, always returned."
I think that works for me. Perhaps God was having a tea break when he wrote up the definition for love. What do you think?
...but, on second thought... if always returned is added, then it'll be a problem too... I would be "in love" with all these weirdos that crossed my path at one point or another.
What about...
"Love is patient, love is kind, love is paired. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
...but, this can't work either... I'm very greedy and I want to be loved by all. It's just my nature. I can be an attention whore at times... but, for the most part I'm just a whore... not... so not.... sooo not. I don't think I have free will when it comes to whoring around... rats.
Perhaps, God would like this new definition...
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love only happens in pairs and in serial (to prevent cheating and to allow dating to take place), where it is recipocal (so no one wastes "love energy" in vain), everlasting (love should last forever), never with weirdos (you can thank me), and is always perfect(why shouldn't it be?).
Ahhh... perfection... We should add this to the International version of the Bible.
hmmm... What do you think?? It's almost perfect... except... all of the world's divorce lawyers will die of hunger... so sad. ;)

Hahaha. You tickle my funny bone until it breaks. Ouch. That is definitely one of my favorite quotes. I still remember hearing it for the first time while watching "A Walk to Remember" and even though I was still a naiive high school student, I couldn't help but agree wholeheartedly. Love can be such a paradox, as all things in this world. But don't you agree it's also something that the world needs more of these day? (go into song.."what the world needs now is love sweet love...it's the only thing, there's too little of...")
LOL... yes... we need more love. :) I probably first heard the quote from my ex. Whenever I wanted to refresh my memory on what love is... I Google "Corinthians"... :) "What the world needs now... is love sweet love..." The song makes me think of "My Best Friend's Wedding"... :)
