A home is a place of residence or refuge. It is usually a place where an individual or a family can rest in and be able to store personal property. This is what I hope this is to be.

Love Doesnt have Limits
Its really interesting how we as humans have become so "in love" with this or that. You see I have been looking at the love for some people's religion, faith, doctrine, country, gender, race, and even eating habits...I have even been privy to a debate on the love of certain types of hair.
The "love is blind" quote comes to mind very quickly when I see love with limits...or should I say when we love something so much, that we hate(YES I MEAN HATE) something else. A competition cant exist in an environment of love. You cant love something so much that you allow fear to taint that love. Love is, when no fear exist. Love is, when you rise above hate. Love is when you reach beyond a label, association, or beliefs.
Take one instance, my own personal experience, I love my country. One can use anything that they love in its place, the points will still apply. I don't, nor can I keep that love at the expense of looking down upon, competing with, or fearing another country. I cant play a zero sum game with that love. I see my country for what it is, good and bad. I embrace the good and point out the bad. That doesn't make me anti-American, it should make me an American. I can appreciate it, love it , and even question it...without fear.
Because I love it, I am able to look at other places on this planet with a loving spirit. I am able to look at its good and bad, not as a competition, but as a learning tool. What can we do to make each other better? What can I see in other countries to make myself better? Better...not better than someone else or their country...a better me. A path to wisdom must be that with the mindset of a student...not a master suffering from an inflated sense of exceptionalism.
Because I love it enough to want the best for it. That is what love means to me...wanting the best for what I love. Not what is the best for me, but for it. Knowing what love is, knowing that when you are loving you are better for it; I am certain that love will be reciprocated.
Love is all encompassing. It is love with or without you. It cant be misunderstood or redefined, it cant be interpreted or contained.
It is.
Because when everything is on the line love can save you...it can save us all. Don't believe me...try love for yourself. It has NO limits.
