ME and the Boss

“Love is a wonderful, terrible thing”   ~ William Shakespeare

Although the word oxymoron, (from the Greek, Oxy: sharp and Moros: dull)

did not become a part of the English language until 50 years after

Shakespeare’s death, the bard knew it was coming.

Love is the emotion that can both soothe the soul of the savage beast

as well as inflict the most horrible pain that

the heart can experience.

Today, know that love can only be love when it goes to the extremes.

Love is the ultimate oxymoron.

Love is helping someone love themselves.

ME and the Boss

“About all you can do in life is be who you are.                                                      
Some people will love you for you.                                                                            
Most will love you for what you can do for them,                                                   
and some won’t like you at all.”                                       ~ Rita Brown

Somewhere on this planet, among the billions of people living here,

there are some that will fit every category of love.

A billion or two don’t know you and don’t care.

A few million are needy, don’t know how to love

and just want to use and abuse anyone they can.

A couple of hundred people just don’t like you,

real or preconceived,

you are the wrong color, the wrong religion

and whatever is wrong with them.

Today, hang with the few that love you because you are you.

Love is not all-inclusive.    (But should be.)

Love is helping someone love themselves.
