I still never forgot the passage from Proverbs in the Bible, which states and this is a paraphrase: it is better to have a meal with others where much love is displayed and the pickings are thin, than to have a feast where very little love is exhibited. Of course, the passage stated this much more succinctly.
Everyone has been in a crowd and felt very lonely for he/she did not have one genuine connection with anyone. Love matters. It always does. It dispels fear, worry.
How many people have moved to a strange, unfamiliar area because they knew one person. One person is all it takes to dispel loneliness and give you the courage to venture out into foreign territory.
Our mate ought to be a helpmate, your best friend, your only lover. Yet if she/he is the only one it places too much pressure on that person. It is better to have a network set up of friends–others who also love you too.
The well which you draw from to love others is endless. Love is infinite. The more you can give the more you have. And it comes back ten fold. It is the only thing that matters. When everything is stripped from you that is all that is left: love. It is the only thing that matters in life.
There are many very lonely millionaires out there who have discovered: money can’t buy happiness. The best part about it is love is free. So give it away. You will never be disappointed.
