True Love ?

I have several friends that are going through the trauma of divorce at this time and as we head towards Valentines Day it seems to be a little harder then normal. I keep asking myself what is true love and does true love actually last or is it only a choice we make just like we were animals and not the spiritual beings we are. Many people who do not honestly believe in a God would easily say that true love is nothing but a feeling or a choice but God created us with a little more in us then a dog in heat.

This brings up the question of why someone would choose to break up a marriage for their own gratification, not caring who else they may hurt. Then the question of how the betrayed should feel when the one they loved set out not even considering what their spouse thought or cared about. Should the one who was harmed be peaceful and caring, should they just move on and be grateful that their spouse who was so selfish is now out of their life?

Lets start with the first question, when a person becomes so self centered that they fall into the most basic animalistic state of human nature there is no way of talking sense to them. They have more then left the building they have left the world of sanity. Many times these people who have gone to this point look for someone else that is of low moral and spiritual character and fall for a drug user, alcoholic or someone of lose moral character. They HAVE to find a kindred spirit, someone who sees life as only an animal will. This is one reason why a person who made the action that  causes a divorce has the highest of all people to have a second, third and even a fourth divorce.

The question of what to do when a person you love becomes nothing more then a person claiming they chose to love you one day and now they choose not to. The simple fact is that you will still love that person, at least you will love who they once were. You should put an open hand out in friendship but beware animals do bite. Never let their hatred get in the way of remembering what they once were but do not hold on to any hope that they will change. Once a dog is foaming at the mouth it is a pretty safe bet they will never become a kind and sweet house dog again.

You do make the initial choice to love someone. God tells us how we choose to love as he chose to love us. He also explains that once his "true love" is accepted he will NEVER turn his back so we should take that to mean that when a person turns their back on what they claimed was true love they are at fault not with just you but with God almighty himself.

When the one you loved has turned into that foaming mouthed dog who has turned their back on God it is time to move on. Always hold that hand out in friendship but remember mad dogs bite.

True love can be found in these attributes.
Honesty
Loyalty
Consistancy
Devotion
Not being self centered

When these things are broken you will know it is not true love. Many times the foaming dog will quote scripture, pray loudly and speak in holy terms while in public but in private the will speak the most vile words possible.

I wish you all to find true love and skip the foaming at the mouth mad dogs.

I know it is kind of a cynical blog but I am trying to look at what makes the mad dogs foam and how should we treat them.

Happy Valentines Day.....?
