ORIGINAL: Zevar FR: Expressing love when everything within is protesting for selfishness is when love appears to be likened to being inconvenient, as in causing or involving difficulties, unwanted extra effort, work, or trouble due to choosing to love rather than not. Love demands much from whomever claims to be willing to express love in the face of the issues that common daily life presents when relating with others. Nonetheless, inconvenient or not choosing love is the higher road and one I tend to choose to tread more often than not, regardless of the demands. Personal experience has proven the other side of inconvenient brings rewards unspeakable, saturated with noteworthy goodness that I have come to genuinely value. Hard work produces great rewards. Take Care! I like how Kahlil Gibran wrote of Love (I've taken just a portion of the entire poem) ...But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor, Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears. ... I enjoy the entire poem, but it is rather lengthy, in fact have the book "Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet" and it is one of my favorite possessions.
