So me, trying to be as honest as i could be, had to take a few minutes to think. See the Virgo in me causes me to over analyze everything, but him being the man he is,sat back and patiently waited for me to reply. Now I've been asked that question many times before, but its something about the way he asked me that forced me to actually think about the answer. Before I could respond though, I had to be sure I fully understood what he was asking me. The desire to dig a little deeper had me playing intergrogator, so i questioned... "When you say "love", what are you talking about?"
Now some of you would have looked at me like i was crazy, thinking the question was self explanatory, but he understood exactly what i meant.
So, I laid back in my bed. With my eyes on the ceiling, I listened to what this man had to say.
He said:
"I understand that as humans we are selfish and self absorbed by nature. We walk around with our main focus being ourselves. We're constantly worrying about OUR career choices, what kind of car WE drive, how beautiful WE are, and lately, how much swag WE have."
"Well, I think that's why God created LOVE. Love is unselfish, giving, caring, warm and all the things selfishness isn't. When you find it, you wont have to think about it, you'll know it"
After he finished speaking, I no longer felt the need to answer his question.
