Love cannot be realized alone

Love is a term that has been twisted and muddled by today's society beyond comprehension. It seems as if love can mean a million different things and a new meaning is invented every day. However, contrary to today's concept, there are fundamental principles that govern and dictate what love is.

Love cannot be substantiated without your object partner. Without a partner, there cannot even be the concept of love. Yet no one denies that love is the way to ultimate fulfillment in life. With this understanding it is implicit that we should treasure, serve, and uplift our object partner, even willing to sacrifice our life for his/her sake.

Once we realize our partner is such a precious gift that we should treasure, it is unimaginable to fathom the kinds of sinister acts people commit upon their counterparts in today's society. Yet if you ask the culprit of such acts, you may likely find they think they did it out of 'love'.

The reason the notion of love has become twisted in today's society is that we have lost appreciation for these fundamental principles that govern the universe. We have replaced them with our own deceitful falsities made to appear like natural laws but which have actually been manipulated to accommodate to selfish tendencies.
