Love

"Love is sometimes the choice to go against one's feelings." - Gary Chapman

I truly believe this statement. Love is not a feeling. Oh sure, you can fall in love. You can have loving feelings towards someone. But love is really a cognitive process. It's a choice. You have to choose every day to love the people around you. You have to make a choice each day to love your spouse. And when love is at it's greatest - love goes against your feelings. It's a seemingly impossible task, but when undertaken love creates more love where originally there was none. Imagine the world without the decision to love. Imagine the world if the decision was made a conscious effort by every person, each and every day.
