What love has to do with it
“The science of love is the philosophy of the heart.”
- Marcus Tullius Cicero
For the 40+ crowd, you may remember that Tina Turner tune from the 80’s, “What’s love got to do with it.” It’s a powerful song. You may even be singing it in your head right now. Or, at least, now you are. You may have also discovered since then that Love is much more than, as Tina puts it, a “second-hand emotion.” Some people would argue that Love is everything. Even though it cannot be measured from a science perspective, it can be felt by everyone. It’s part of the human condition. Love is the glue that connects us on an ethereal level.
Love goes well beyond being some second-hand emotion. Love is something we express toward others in many different ways on many different levels. On a personal level, my quality of life improved once I started expressing Love toward others more often. I also learned to stop treating others with disrespect. I owe it all to reconnecting with my heart. It took a lot of deep reflection and introspection. On the other side of it I had this brand new zest for life where I felt the need to have positive interactions with everyone I interacted with. I even started treating myself a little better. It felt really good. It still does. I owe that to Love.
