I really enjoyed the post. It made me reflect on the close group of friends that I confide in and go to for encouragement and a feeling of like-mindedness. One thing that I often run into, and that stuck out to me in this post, is the idea of love in my eclectic group of friends.

As an atheist, I have a parallel belief that love is not a mystical force. But, I think the word is still an appropriate way to label a range of ways that we treat and classify each other. I tell my friends that I love them quite often. This is generally well-received between those of faith and those not of faith.

Where the disconnect exists, I believe, is that some people depend on love as a mystical force ( No disrespect intended ) that will course correct their lives, instead of working toward emotional intelligence, compassion, and understanding as tools for guiding relationships and the long journey of interacting with people throughout our lives.

I enjoy the lessons of the Bible verse, as I am based in this set of values, and hope that as different creeds can be accepted, that the differing interpretations of the word love can still be accepted ubiquitously, though their sources may be disputed for all time.

I look forward to the next post and learning from what my fellow commenters have to offer!

Wow! I think I had better say 50 Hail Marys and read those rules over and over again until I get it right. No matter how much we try to stick by these guidelines there are always time where we just fall short. The fact that we are constantly trying is a good thing though. I really try to stick to “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” but I am no saint. I do think I am getting better all the time and practice makes perfect.right!

Thanks for sharing these tips! I totally agree with them. It is refreshing to encounter people who build others up rather than tear others down in this day in age. This is a great reminder that we should put others before ourselves!
