Tuesdays with Morrie-love

From Tuesdays with Morrie they talk about love . But the question is do you think that Americans are afraid to love each other, or show that they love each other. Love is a very strong word if you really think about it. Love by definition is the emotion of strong affection and personal attachment. It can also mean or be used in philosophical context like representing all human kindness , compassion and affection. Why are people so afraid to show "love"? Well many people have come in and out of our lives many effect use in a positive and negative ways depending. We sometimes let people in our lives and we give them love but they don't want that love they step all over it. We end up being so hurt by it that we are so afraid to show it. We put up these walls so that no one can ever come in a hurt use again in our lives even the ones who care about us most. We do this so we never have this feeling again. I can really relate to this. This past week end i meet this girl. We really got to know each other. She really opened up to be about how she once let a boy in her life and he walked all over her and she was really hurt. She was afraid to show love. But i showed her to put down those walls she was, it was there the love that i showed her that she was about to break down those walls she has. Now she is no long ashamed to show love. Now she shows it threw others by opening her self up.

  2. Yes I think it is difficult to reveal vulnerability through love because Americans we like to pretend that we are individuals and we don't need/rely on others. But I would offer my own definition of love, that is, love is a choice to care for and nurture someone. It is not a feeling or emotion - that is infatuation. But love is a nurturing that choice that you must decide to do and then work at.
