Our Goodness

Human emotions are complex and sweep over a wide range of feelings and thoughts. Out of these emotions, love is one of, if not the, most complex. The word is tossed around every day, to friends, significant others; but really, what is love?
Love is the recognition and appreciation of someone's or something's simple goodness. It's when you gain an undeniable appreciation of the good that someone or something has done. You value them and their morales as your own. Now, if love is thought about as recognition or appreciation that implies that love can be manipulated; and it can. Love is something you can control, for the good or the worse. You can become a more open person, and love more easily. Or you could shut yourself out from the world and become a barricade against your own and others love.
Love is shown differently by all people. Some people are shy about it, and some people are wildly open regarding love. Love effects everyone and their daily lives. It can make a big difference or none at all. It all depends on how you decide to give and recieve this feeling that is love.
