F.E. Madill comment
Love is the
essence of
beauty
..Love. The essence of beauty.
'The sweet lingering remem,
brances of fleeting moments, and
golden drops of burning passion.
Love is the most beautiful thing in
the world. The most essential.
Love melts a caged and frozen
heart. It makes you laugh and
sparkles your eyes with the glitter
of. Joy. It makes you cry, and
wrenches your heart into tearfttl
fragments.
When a child is born, it thrives
on lave' Love fills its small dark
world, and soft caresses soothe its
lonely whimpers. It seems to be
that we cannot survive without
the warmth of love.
Love is so stram.c, and so
utterly une Someiimes
it's deep inside of us, and we
aren't even aware that it's there.
.And then, all of a sudden, like a
sudden burst of sunshine, you are
struck by the miraculous reali-
zation that you are in love!
Love is funny. Two fourteen
year olds on their first date,
awkwardly holding hands, shyly
stealing furtive glances, clumsily
trying to kiss each other
goodnight, noses bumping, lips
getting twisted and in the way.
But love is gentle, tolerant, and
beautiful. Love is not always
shown in the things we say.
Sometimes the things we do
express our emotions much better
than words ever could. To give
emphasis to their feelings,
expressed or unexpressed, people
are always doing coinciding
things. Whether the results arc
• positive or negative, has little
bearing to the tact that this
relation never ceases to exist.
And yet, beautiful as love is,
there arc always the people that
exist on putting it in a different
category, deliberately misunder-
standing it, or misinterpreting it.
Love is all too frequently used as
a futile excuse for premarital sex.
"Well...1 loved him!" a olish
unwed mother exclaintA
Freevishly. Love has nothing to do
with all the immature, lustful,
intimacies that end up in
irreversible problems. It is the
farthest thing from a person's .
mind when they say selfishly, "If
you love me. you"d do it." That is
the most childish,• inconsiderate,
stupid excuse that has ever been
invented. Love is sacred,
toughing hearts deeply, and,.
knowing this, callous, greedy.
people manipulate this emotion
for their own pleasure, ignoring
the feelings of the other person.
People are so. loveless, so greedy,
wanting and taldng. Love is
generous. LOve is giving.
The public is constantly
demanding the essence of love, or
their interpretation of love, in
everything,. Flirtatious,
suggestive,. lyrics moan on the
radio. Vutgar magaz i nes
dominate the literature stands
and openly publicize their filth.
Television shows, such as soap
operas ; are disgusting. "Soap" is.
A prime example of something
that should be shoved in a hole
and covered up.
The tWo examples of loVe,trite,
pure and the disgusting :
deliberate wrong conception' of
love-will exist Until.. the end of
time, afidlsincerely hope that the
loftier will succeed.
