That is false. Modern society is anti-love. We’ve taken a microscope to everyone to bring out their flaws and shortcomings. It is far easier to find a reason not to love someone, than otherwise. Rejection requires only one reason. Love requires complete acceptance. It is hard work – the only kind of work that I find palatable.<br/> Loving someone has great benefits. There is admiration, learning, attraction and something which, for the want of a better word, we call happiness. In loving someone, we become inspired to better ourselves in every way. We learn the true worthlessness of material things. We celebrate being human. Loving is good for the soul.<br/> Loving someone is therefore very important, and it is also important to choose the right person. Despite popular culture, love doesn’t happen by chance, at first sight, across a crowded dance floor. It grows slowly, sinking roots first before branching and blossoming. It is not a silly weed, but a mighty tree that weathers every storm.<br/> You will find, that when you have someone to love, that the face is less important than the brain, and the body is less important than the heart.<br/> Finally, you will find that there is no half-measure when it comes to loving someone. You either don’t, or you do with every cell in your body, completely and utterly, without reservation or apology. It consumes you, and you are reborn, all the better for it.”<br/><br/> - <em>Adrian Tan (Life and How to Survive it)</em>http://bits.arturomoreno.org/post/21152902282http://bits.arturomoreno.org/post/21152902282Sun, 15 Apr 2012 11:38:23 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2duj416WD1qz5l0eo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Any given thursday at the office with a Commodore64.
