Love is an ability not an emotion…. A strong statement for me to make, but I believe it’s the right statement. If you break down love into an aspect of levels you can see that to love is to have an ability to do so. For instance, can a child love his or her parents? Most, I presume would answer a definitely, yes! However, let’s break things down a bit further. You cannot have an emotion floating without having the ability to do so. When a child comes into this world, he or she doesn’t love, he and she doesn’t know how. Through the years, the child learns how to have that ability. An ability to love and to care for the other person.

 

Now, let ask another question: What is the difference between, an emotion and an ability? An emotion  is a feeling created through the use of using your brain. When you look at something, you give it value. For instance, when you look at a rose, some will agree the beauty in it. However, if another person who has never seen a rose, looks at it. The person will disagree that it has any significant beauty.

The ability is a feeling that can be considered an emotion, but you cannot compare apples or oranges, now can you? Having an ability is not easy as it sounds. In order to have any ability, you must develop it. For instance, when you work out a body part long enough, you will in return, see it gradually developing from being flabby, skinny into more defined body part. An ability, is more like a muscle. The more you work on love, the easier it becomes in the long run.

Sounds like a little philosophy, right? )
