Day 05 – Your definition of love

Well this ought to be interesting.

Love is when you will do literally anything for a person no matter what. Love isn't something that comes quickly or easily, and is something that can go in and out. Love takes time because it takes trust and experience when an individual. I might like you after meeting you for a month, but I'm not going to go pick you up at 5 in the morning in the Bronx because you don't want to take a cab.

Love isn't something that can be explained or predicted. It's a feeling you've got that you can't explain in words. That's love you have for a significant other.

Love for my family trumps all. They are all I've got for sure in life. I've known that for years, but the past two months have taught me it more than ever. When you go away, you're family is always with you no matter how far apart you are. That's love. Even when you've spent a week with them and you just need a break, you still love them.

Then there is the love that you show to people around you in daily life. This type of love isn't the type that you get for family or a significant other, but its one you show with compassion to friends and even strangers.

I'm a loving person. I don't know why, and I'm sure it gets me in trouble sometimes, but I try and show people that kind of love whenever it is possible. Trust me, being a new manager this isn't an easy thing to do everyday. Others will try and take advantage of that love, so I'm learning that sometimes others won't treat that love with the respect you would hope for. It's something that I'm coming to accept, but I'm trying not to change because of it. It's still worth it to me to treat others as well as possible. To love others. A little golden rule if you will.
