"You are in every beat of my heart" My family My boyfriend My girlfriend My children My dog My cat My God ....anyone thought, "Myself"? Does this mean "love" is selfless? Yet we use the possesive pronoun "my" before those we profess to "love". Something to ponder on this beautiful day.

My dogs, specially when I feed and played with them in the afternoon.

Reason why they are called "Man's best friend". My dogs do provide me with a lot of quality time.

@LadyDuck _This reminds me of a story. A young girl sold more flowers to strollers in a park than any other vendors. Her secret? When she approach a couple who were obviously not married, she would say, "Roses for your wife?" and when it was a married pair especially those in their senior years, she would say, "Roses for your girlfriend?" How can any man in love resist buying?

I consider "husband" under the category of "my boyfriend".

But it has to be "My" family, "My" God". Takes a bit of effort to love the family of others. Impossible to love the God of other faith.

I'm thinking as fast as I can... and all I can think about LOVE is... WORK... You want to be loved, you work for it... you love pets, you work for them... you want to get married, you need to save up and work...

I think that ‘love" is warmth and help from others. I want to learn how to love myself more than before.

We should learn to love ourselves first before we can give love to others that expect nothing in return.

Good motto. Although I'm not sure we need to "save" planet earth but be more concern about saving the human race from extinction. After all the planet has been around for millions of years.

I thought of the love notes my children giving to each other (from the older to the younger). Cute and funny reading them.

I smiled when I read your comment thinking how delightful when children nowadays just text messages, your's take the time to actually write love notes to each other.

What can I say. Should “our” instead so it wont sound possessive? All I know is that love is us - you and me.

Love is simply an amazing word. Though even it's unsaid, It reflects more in each of our actions.

It is an amazing word especially for writers and poets. "Love" however in the real world often gets misinterpreted and frequently serves as a scapegoat to our selfish actions.

Whenever I heard the word "Love" the first thing that comes to my mind is that I want to thank God for loving me even though I am not worthy.

One reason I stop believing in the church is because the priests kept harping about "original" sin and how unworthy we are.

@mnglsp _I use to watch this Eli Soriano show but it seems to be more of an ongoing debate between him and the INC than a program for religious enlightenment. Initially it was entertaining watching him showoff his Bible knowledge but eventually became tiresome for me listening to his harangue against the INC (No, I'm not a member of the INC)

@josie_ Try to listen to Ang Dating Daan. Because of that program I still have that Faith in me.
