I just read an eye opening entry in a very good friend's blog.
It was a bunch of words all ran together and you had to really read it to have it make sense.
It reminded me of how we all try to make sense of this world.
Many of us read large amounts of literature to find meaning in life.
We search and search ....reading holy book after holy book...trying to grasp truths that give us hope.
Millions of people write billions of words trying to explain life and all it consists of.
Words to tell us why we are here and what this life is all about.
Philosophers have tried to put it into words...Theologians have tried to put it into Doctrine.
Scientists have performed experiment after experiment trying to discover the meaning of life.
My biology professor once told me ...you can ask a scientist how?...and he could tell you.....but never ask him why?...because they have no idea.
It kind of puts me in a Spiritual Rage....this endless trying to explain Life!
Even I have tried to write endless prose...poems...encouraging letters...to all of you ....trying to explain Life.
When I could sum up existence in one word.
That word is ................
LOVE!
No...that is not good enough...we want more...we want details.
How can I possibly detail love?
When I try ....some have their nerves to start big theological arguments...debates....and chaos.
I will never quit writing...because I know that is what I am supposed to be doing.
I almost have the mind to make my next 50 entries consist of only one word.
Love.

Sigmund Freud said there are two forces that motivate people to do things - the life force (love), and the death force (hate). You have to choose which force you are going to serve.

That is exactly why Freud went down into History!

my heart is the sun, but everyone would tell me its the ice pick
however its spelt
i ask why discuss life?
then i would answer myself because i find it quite refreshing to answer my own thoughts,
"well ben, because it is quite fun, who doesnt love to create?"
then id agree because who knows better than me
my holy book you ask?
well you didnt but you said holy book, and i would say Huckleberry Finn, fin in french is like 'the end' in english.
if you wrote Love for the next 50 posts i would probably write many things that would have nothing to do with it, but then maybe really means nothing.
for some reason i feel then need to respond very philosophically to this yonder post, but im not, because its for suckas to think better than what they should.
ive sufficiently written enough,
my hypothesis remains,

Your comment showed up.
The site is acting strange lately.
I am sure the staff is working on it.
I enjoyed your comment very much.
I would consider Huck Finn holding much wisdom for life.
You just tickle me young Ben.

Sometimes I find I run out of some emotional things - except one, love. There is always more, don't know where from but it always is there, every time I need it. Some to you.

And then..we sometimes get lost in our words and forget the life that is there..

2Rivers-..Thank you for sharing the love.
Mine never seems to run out either...even when I want it to.
At times in my life..I really wanted to hate some unlovely people...I just cannot seem to do it.
I am thankful after the fact...but at times...hate seemed the easier route to take.
Maybe that is why it is known to be said...Love Conquers All.

How right you are...some people get so caught up in trying to find all of these deep meanings to life..and they wake up one day and their life is almost over.
It is really sad in a way...instead of seeking for the truth...they could have been living the truth.

BubblyDiane...
Love is Life.
Love is the beginning and the end to all things.

Love if given freely and truly meant - as in given by the heart and soul, is indeed the answer to alot of things
to not have love is to be an empty shell

Love makes us feel life, makes us feel alive, our love remains long after we have gone, spend life living, loving and being loved and you have lived well.

I guess it's just the natural human instinct.
We always want a reason.. a reason for this and a reason for this... then a reason for wanting a reason!
It is very frustrating.
But i agree with you. Love is what this life it about. I believe it is to help us understand that we need the love of others and to give love to others.
Without it, we are nothing. just an empty shell of body.

Love... a word so small for the concept of what it really is. Or maybe it is that we have used it so frequently that is has lost its secrets...
Thanks for blessing my page with your words... you are a beautiful one. L

You said it well.
We are empty shells without love.

Maybe more people get it more than I first assumed.
Maybe my next 50 entries do not have to be just one word.
hehe.

Yes I agree with you.
Love is overused.
Like, I love icecream, I love fast cars, I love sunny days.
Love is a Spiritual Word..and we have turned it into a common word.
Love is surely not common.
