Love vs. Action
Actions by themselves are simply reactions to a discovered need
Love as an emotion develops only after a discovered want
Both justified, both meaningful, both terribly selfish
When kept under control, both can build up and bring joy
When unchecked, they can lead to a spiral of destruction and pain
When combined inappropriately, it often reveals itself in the shape of...
Ears that refuse to hear
Eyes that will not open to see
Hands that do not want to hold, and..
Mouths closed tight with no words
Love does not warrant actions
Love coheres ones wants into needs
Actions do not initiate love
Actions are a reciprocation of what love transforms in you
Growth, love, need, and dependency
All these appear when we realize there are no true actions anymore
Just the effects of actions taken long ago birthed of love
An action that sustains us until it perpetuates itself in us
To love.
