Love is a choice

As the Bible says Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Why does the Bible instruct us that love always protects, always trusts, always hopes and always preserves? Because god knows, we are the only one who own chances to choose to love.

What is love? As one of the most commonly asked questions around the world, it confuses many people, we spend countless hours wondering what love really is. In my opinion, love is a process when we are constantly making choices, and the choices we make are beneficial to our family and our community. Love is not simply an event that happens to us, but actually, we are all given circumstances to love, every day of our lives.

Love is something we choose to do. We thank god for giving us the power to make the choice to love. We choose to love the nature; we choose to love our countries; we choose to love our families; we choose to love our teachers; we choose to love our friends; and we choose to love ourselves. We choose to love everything good in the world. The more we choose to love, the more we will understand the meaning of love in all relationship, the better we will be able to sustain and improve in this society.

Sometimes the choices can be easy to make, when feelings and actions make love easily; sometimes the choices can be hard to make, when hurt and disappointment loom large. But the choices of love are always ours to make.

To choose to love, is the attitude, definition and belief that we use to determine our expectations and perspectives in life, and it’s also one of the basic principles of living.

I live in this loving world, and I choose to love it.
