LOVE?

Love is something that happens in the blink of an eye.  It happens when you least expect it, and completely blows you away.  It has the has the power to tear you apart, or make you strive to be the best person you can be.  It empowers and destroys in seconds, yet can take a lifetime to find.  Love is completely unique to every individual, yet works in the same mysterious ways.  Everyone wonders what love is, philosophers have tried to define it and have ultimately failed, every time.  I think anyone can describe what it does and doesn't do.  But no individual knows what Love IS.  The only thing I can compare it to that fully describes it, is something that I can't fully describe.  Music.  Music is something that can evoke any emotion.  Music isn't bound by language, culture, race.  It's something truly divine that anyone and everyone can understand and enjoy.  It is one of those instinctual things that has been there ever since we can remember.  It's something we have all experienced and enjoy.  Love is what gives Life a purpose.  It gives Life a destination.  And although I'm not a very religious person, I can say these words in confidence.  Love is one of the few unshakable gifts given to mankind by God.
