Love and the Digital Age

Love is no different than a digital switch. It is either on or off, 1 or 0, all or nothing. Indeed this may have been the inspiration behind today's digital age, knowingly or unwittingly. There are infinite degrees of like, controlled by a rheostat if you will. Not so with love. If the feeling of love is in question, then it does not exist, because where it truly exists it needs not, and cannot, be questioned. It is unmistakable if present. When the love switch is on it allows full and uninterrupted current flow. While it is true that the amount of current may vary from individual to individual, it is nevertheless maximal for that individual. There is no dimmer switch, no resistor- its flow, whatever that may be, is unencumbered, clearly and quite simply, on.

Of course there is a catch- nothing is that easy. In order to love another you must love two, or love cannot exist. That is the password and secret code which allows the potential for one to bypass the resistors in the circuits and activate love's switch. Without this second party one is relegated at best to a life of like, which is vastly more variable, less complete, and ultimately less fulfilling than love. The second party which must exist in this equation is oneself. If you don't honestly love yourself, you will probably never really love another. If that is your case be assured that it is never too late to open your switch... and it should be job one. It will require some work and change, probably some help, and a totally open mind to make this happen. When it does you will know it, there will be no question. Interestingly enough it is then that one actually begins to focus less on oneself, and more on others, which just builds further upon our feelings of self worth. It's kind of weird, kind of great. It is the key to a better life, and a better world.
