Today’s chapter will be special and mostly because it is a special day. When the day of love comes, we must reflect upon what it means to be loved and to love. Love is this amazing concept of turning emotions into a tangible thing that everyone understands but don’t see, because it is non-visible. We feel it, we notice it, but truth is, it just isn’t there. It is simply a concept we have created to justify how we feel and to justify our feelings of protection. Too much love can be a bad thing just as not enough can be the same. I lived my life always reaching out to people that seemed in need of help. I call this just enough love. Just enough love for me is reaching out but not forcing people in feeling victimized. It’s hard to pinpoint what people may need from other, but it’s not hard to pinpoint what we want to offer others from ourselves. To me, I lend my hand and I open my heart, and I try to help whoever out there needs it. In my mind, I am a modern-day hero and just like any other heroes, I wear a mask and I want none of the gratification that comes with fame. So, is love this rave about nothing? I believe so, however that is not necessarily a bad thing. The fact we can create something so strong out of an invisible element is just mind-blowing and demonstrates the emotional intelligence we possess as a specie. Just for another day, another year and another life I would like this amazing concept to continue because who knows where we are heading with evolution. Are we about to become emotionless 2.0 as I call it? I believe in the future we won’t have as many feelings, rather we will have a convergence of feelings toward something very common. In having this common feeling, humans will become highly intelligent and will feel safe, therefore they won’t have the need to feel as much as we do today. So, to think about that we live in a special time, right before the emotional big bang 2.0, is simple a reminder how lucky we are to be alive at such an amazing transition. As I get older, I often reflect on how the newer generation sees all this. I investigate what they do, and I try to understand from what kind of world they come from, and how will that shape them in the future. These kids will have a mind-blowing life, one that I couldn’t phantom in my young years, as how advanced just today their lives are. Information at the tip of their fingers while I had to figure everything out on my own, with rudimentary tools. Time is a beautiful thing, and while time permits us, I remind everybody to always reach out to those in need, and not necessarily force change and help, but just a “here is in case you may need it, but no strings attached” kind of reaching out to. Why? Because I felt once in a position where no one reached out but a few, and those few meant the difference to me. I will always remember that, and I will always cherish these people as part of an amazing memory, one no one will ever erase from my heart. So, for this special day, happy valentines and cherish those that you feel around you in a positive light. All the rave about nothing? Maybe so, but nothing can mean everything depending how you look at it. Spread love, not hate.
