MY THOUGHTS 5001
LOVE: TRUE LOVE CAN ONLY BE GIVEN FREELY. IT CANNOT BE GIVEN THROUGH PRESSURE, PERSUASION, BARGAINING, OR THREATS. PRESSURE MEANS THAT THE PERSON IS BEING FORCED TO DO WHAT THEY DO NOT WANT TO DO. PERSUASION MEANS THAT THEY WERE RELUCTANT AT FIRST AND HAD TO BE VERBALLY MANIPULATED TO ACCEPT SOMEONE’S LOVE IN LIEU OF THEIR OWN PREFERENCES. THREATS ARE PROMISES TO CREATE NEGATIVES IN THE DESIRED PERSON’S LIFE IF THEY DO NOT ACCEPT THE LOVE PRESENTED BY THE GIVER. BARGAINING MEANS NEGOTIATING MATERIAL AND/OR FINANCIAL CONDITIONS TO SATISFY SOMEONE ELSE’S LOVE. THIS IS A FORM OF LEGAL PROSTITUTION. IN ALL FOUR SITUATIONS, THE RECIPIENT IS ACCEPTING CONDITIONAL LOVE IN PLACE OF FREE LOVE. EmilKoval©2013

LOVE: WHEN YOU ARE TRULY IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE, IT IS USUALLY BASED UPON A MIND, BODY, AND SOUL ATTRACTION. HOWEVER, WHEN MANY SAY THEY ARE IN LOVE WITH YOU, THEY ARE REALLY SAYING THEY ARE IN LUST WITH YOU. THAT IS, THEY WANT TO EXPERIENCE YOU PHYSICALLY AND NOT ACTUALLY EMOTIONALLY, INTELLECTUALLY, AND SPIRITUALLY. WHEN THE PHYSICAL EXCITEMENT BECOMES NORMAL ROUTINE, IT COMES JUST A PHYSICAL ACT THAT IS DONE WHICH MAY LEAD TO A SLOW DEATH TO THE RELATIONSHIP. EmilKoval©2013

LOVE: BEFORE YOU CAN TRULY LOVE SOMEONE ELSE, YOU MUST FIRST TRULY LOVE YOU AND RESPECT WHO YOU ARE, WHAT YOU ARE, AND HOW YOU ARE. EmilKoval©2013
MY THOUGHTS 5004
LOVE: WHEN WE EXPRESS OUR LOVE TOWARDS SOMEONE, WE USUALLY EXPECT THE SAME RESPONSE BACK. HOWEVER, PEOPLE WHO DO NOT MINDFULLY EXPRESS HOW THEY LOVE SOMEONE WILL OFTEN BE DISAPPOINTED BY A REJECTION OR A NONRESPONSE TO THEIR EXPRESSIONS OF LOVE. EmilKoval©2013

QUESTION 591: WHEN YOU SAY YOU “I LOVE YOU!” TO SOMEONE, ARE YOU REALLY SAYING “I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU” OR “I AM IN LUST WITH YOU!”? EmilKoval©2013
