Love


Love

Wes Sharpensteen

 

Fighting, abuse, theft, cheating, neglect, hatred. Evil words that only display distrust. No healthy relationship can come about by these words. A healthy relationship has little to do with romance. Little to do with mental health. Little to do with social status. But everything to do with one word.  A word that embodies all healthy relationships. Love. That’s the word. If you can’t love a person, you can’t have any healthy relationship with them. A sucker punch of hate and maliciousness is what plagues all too many relationships. Country to country, human to human, insect to insect, the hatred of one will never solve a poor relationship, hate will only worsen the blow. Love needs no barrier. A relationship of any kind thrives on this plentiful and sustainable word, like an infinite power source. So plug it into the socket. Start a relationship of health, and start it with love.
