breaks all walls of division

Why do people afraid to love? It’s so easy to love a mutual friend. But to love a stranger, it already entails difficulty. To love a snatcher, already poses some difficulty. To forgive a killer who killed massacred your husband, your only son is another story. To love an obnoxious co-employee who always obstructs your promotion is another story. We often reason out that it is a foolishness to love the unlovable. We are afraid to appear ridiculous to the eyes of the skeptics that’s why we can never love a traitor. We would reason out, “Why should I love him? He cheated on me many times. . Why should I love him? He betrayed my trust.” And there goes all the alibis of not loving a person.  We then grumble, “Why should I love that bastard? That **** wasted all my earning and squandered my saving to all his illicit affairs.”  So see how we immediately sin when we are angry. Instead of forgiving we rather commit sin by name callings. Instead of accepting apology we philosophized that it is illogical to love an erring person.  It is easier to love people at a distant than to love this seemingly unruly person whom we rub elbows with. It’s so easy to love people who are thousand miles away than to love people whom we dine with in the table. Sometimes too, we set criteria before loving a person.


 People are afraid to love because they think they might be rejected.  People are afraid to love because the love they give might not be reciprocated. And because of the responsibility it implies in loving, a person will never dare to love. You can not love without giving. You can not love without serving. You can not love without sacrificing your time.  When you love, you have to offer everything, even your life. You can not say you love that person if you are not willing to forgive him. You’re a bogus person if you say “I love you, but I can not forgive you”.  The funny thing about human is that, after hearing an advice, we sarcastically counters “well, that’s God! And I am not like Him to forgive that easy. So, it’s my prerogative to forgive or not to forgive.”   See, how fickle minded sometimes we could be. Ever heard someone saying, “He deserves it! It is his own fault anyway.” Then at the end we hear somebody says “serves her right!”
