"One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving." - Paul Coelho
Paul Coelho is getting a lot of traction with his various books. I admit he isn't my fav author, but he always has thought-provoking ideas.
It's a game lovers play, isn't it?
"I love you because..."
"I love you." "Why do you love me?"
(This does beat my current fav game: I Love you More...)
Even when I was a little kid, I never really understood how to articulate reasons for love. I just loved. When people told me they loved me, I never asked why. Love seemed too big a mystery. I mean, God loved me so completely, and I had never done anything to deserve it. Love was love. Love stayed awake in the night to chase off the monsters. Love shared a candy bar. Love stood up for you on the playground.
As a grown-up, I understand more about building connections and it is fun to tell the people you love the things you enjoy about them.
But I still agree with Mr. Coelho. There is no reason needed for loving.
