Love Is Our First Nature

I was watching this 4 year old girl walk out of a store the other day with a stuffed dog in her hand, the dog looked like the dog from lady and the tramp, and as she was squeezing this dog she was kissing it’s lips, with every kiss the smile on her face got bigger and bigger, then her dad grabbed her hand and she smiled as they walked away, I could not help but notice how giving that stuffed animal love gave her so much joy!, think back when you were a kid or think of your own kids and how much love is important to us and our growth, and how much love we get determines on how we love ourselves and others, but actually love comes very easy to us when we are kids, it is not until we get older that our love tends to fade away, and either that love turns to hate or we just have a hard time loving at all because the pain is just too great. When we were kids we loved so deeply, we loved our friends, our animals, our parents…then somewhere that all changed, our first nature though was love and later on we find ourselves trying to go back to that place because it is more in line with our natural self, we were made out of love for love and to love, and because it feels so good we are drawn back to it like a magnet. It is no surprise that we have animals and are so animal obsessed because in a world of forgotten love at least our animals are there to show us that unconditional love that we so crave, even our parents loved us more unconditionally when we were younger, then somewhere along the line we were made to feel that love was more conditionally when we got older and things were expected of us, so now we are much needier of that love…but who is going to show us that love other than our animals?, but love is our first nature, it is actually easier to love, love is even proven to help us live longer and healthier lives, so lets all go back to our first love which is love itself xoxo.
