Love, a four letter word, that is so powerful, yet is not known by most people. It was at one time well known, seen, and expressed, but now it is slowly starting to disappear as the generations pass. Who is to blame? We are.
People say today that they know what love is, but really they just like the idea of it, not the work, sweat or tears. When the going gets rough they run for the nearest exit. As each decade and centuries pass the more we lose the foundations of morals, culture, tradition and of course love. They really mean it when they say that the youth of the future are effected by tommorows actions.If they are not taught the pure essentials of life, how can they pass it on and grow? It is like leaving a plant to plant itself and fend for itself. Sure it makes it self relient, but it will never know the real meaning of love, care, or growth process.
The love depicted in movies and romance novels is not the essence of love. Sex is not love nor is material things, or physical appearence. If that is what your relationship is based on then your realtionship is bound for failure, because beauty fades and so will the amount in your purse. Then all is left is heartache and anger.The real meaning of love is found in a verse in the bible, "...Love is patient, love is kind,...etc", but if that is what love supposed to be then why does what the world thinks is love is really is just GREED, LUST, ANGER, SADNESS, and BLINDED SIGHT, which impairs the individual to see the true meaning of love, because of what they see.
I am not saying that saying that there isn't any love in the world, i am saying that there is a limited supply.A mother and her child, the self sacrifice of one human being for another, the act of forgiviness even though the night before the person stabbed you in the back and the act of kindness, is rarely seen everyday, but is there. The question is will you see it or will you be blinded by the disillusionment of the world and will you strive to carry that love on so that it can be taught, seen, felt and heard? So it can be rembered for future generations and not lost in this crazy, hectic world.
In the end we all have the power to change the world, but do you have the courage and motivation to do so?

It seemed like you were aware of your audience, but it also seemed that you were so disenchanted by the idea of love that you were almost ranting. This is not to say that your purpose is not clear, it is very obvious to me that you had a full grasp of what you wanted to say and how you wanted to say it. I believe it was intened to be for a broader audience, but it seemed a little more personal than I believe you intended.
ReplyDeletei think you hit the nail on the head! and the more personal to me the better!its suppossed to be an experience that is personal so i think you describe your thesis in your own words very well!:)
ReplyDeletei think your paper is very good. i thought the introduction definitly caught my attenition. which is a good thing. it is definitly a unique topic, in a good way. i liked the first sentence of the paper, how it was phrased.
ReplyDeleteI was interested in your paper from the first sentence. Love is a very risky subject to write on. I feel you spoke to an audience. The only thing I feel you need to watch is the sentence structure, i.e. comma splices, run on sentences. Otherwise, this was very written and with a powerful message.
