Can someone tell me why we bother to love?
Why do we bother to love people, places and things?
For people hurt us more than they love us.
Places don't love back and things get destroyed.
We put ourselves out there in the world.
Hoping that we will get something in return for our investments,
we sit back and we wait and we wait and we wait until...
we explode one day!
"When will you give me what I want?"
Attention, affection, money, power, prestige, respect, honesty --
all just a sample of what we hope to attain.
But the little seed of love we sow in people, places and things
just doesn't sprout fast enough or become big enough for us.
So we curse love, suppress love, scream at love, abuse love
then tell someone how much we hate love!
Why do we bother to love?
