Wednesday Reflection On What Is Enough Love

 

This Wednesday, we will reflect on what is enough love? Romance novels treat love as a fiery passion between adults. Valentine's Day is a celebration of emotional love felt by couples. The displays of affection in new lovers' eyes and manners tell-all watching they are in love. Is that all there is to love? Or do families share an emotional bond as well that is true love? Could it be more without getting perverse? Could one possibly have so much love an entire swing set feels the love with you? 

 

For couples only, is that what passionate love should be? Should lovers' kisses and acts be reserved for adults only? Should it be kept solely for breeding couples? Do same-sex couples share true love? Is love a strong bond between people as well as married breeders? If love is chemical, it can be tested for authenticity between parties! Looking in lovers' eyes as they gaze at each other could be the test. Do they ooze with an unseen attraction that is more than physical? Is there a prominent display of affection? 

 

Could families' emotional bonds be more? Would incestuous families be passionately in love or merely animals having wanton sex? Is the orthodox Jewish family model inherited through Christianity the best husbandry of family life? Could physically loving families be another kind of love? Perhaps even the loving kind? Loving not just the nuclear family but cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and even humanity as the larger extended family of humanity!  

 

Could loving kind lead to a swing set of lovers? Could humanity become more emotionally involved with one another? Could strangers become family members, distant cousins in the human family tree one might love? Emotionally, affectionately, even passionately? Could love transform humanity into a more peaceful population with less crime? Would children who grow up in a family nest of love be less prone to anger with others? Would love make us more sensitive to each other's feelings and welfare? What would loving family and our fellow humans like lovers do for our lives...
