Big Heart

Happy Valentine's Day.

A time for luuuuve.

Love is a many faceted jewel.

It can have the flipside of hate.

Honest emotions can lead to understanding or if not addressed, can lead to disaster.

I'm no expert. I have tried and lost and won as well.

Perhaps love is best served apart.

Rationalization?

Maybe.

Love is a textured emotion.

The Greeks have several words for love. They include eros for erotic or sexual, philios for 'brotherly' love and agape for love associated with God.

And being an emotion, there are many degrees.

The love I share with many is that love of Freedom. It is irrevocable. It is not self serving. It exists to serve others, especially in regard to restoring this Republic.

Having a big heart at least used to mean being generous, having what is close to unconditional love.

It can mean being able to take a lot both good and bad.

Yet, it can mean discerning and hating what is evil.

Find your own way concerning love.

The truth will out.

Care enough to try.

Don't give up.

Like the fight for our Republic, there will be success and failure.

And be willing to keep fighting for that love.

There is love enough to cover us.
