Someone once said: the most important thing in life is LOVE...



I recently read somewhere "Our mother is the teacher who first teaches us love, the most important subject in life". "Without my mother I could never have known how to love. Thanks to her I can love my neighbors. Thanks to her I can love all living beings. Through her I acquired my first notions of understanding, loving unconditionally and compassion."

"Sometimes we must ignore what
others know of ourselves as seen through their eyes and the world around them, and delve deep into our own selves to find who we truly are. In order to be truly capable of loving another human being one must remember that it's not necessary to search for meaning in other people or their own agendas; just be confident of your own distinct gifts, challenges and dreams".

There are many different ways to love someone (even yourself), love is the continual act of unconditionally putting the needs of others before your own.

As I listen to this song tonight (for the millionth time), I sit in awe, deeply immersed in my own thoughts. I've never heard lyrics so beautiful! The best words ever written to describe what love truly is.
