Love Talk. (1.0)

Why do we love. As human beings, we are taught to be independent. From small children, our parents teach us how to tie our shoes, how to dress ourselves, everything from crossing the street, to solving math problems and scoring well on test in school. Lessons of love amongst family, honoring Mother and Father, respect towards siblings, are all top priorities. One of the first things parents often tell their children, is "Do not talk to strangers." So as we get older, and we develop into young adults, we begin to develop feelings towards people we barely even know. How do we put that into perspective. How do we know which guidelines to follow. How do we know what do to and what to say. No one teaches us how to react to a stranger who shares intimate feelings with you, and no one teaches you how to express your feelings for someone else. Often when you inquire about these things, its too late. Young adults, teenagers, are already set in their ways. We tend to follow what we see other people doing. That may be good if you have two loving parents. But when the person you open your heart to hasn't been and doesn't come from that type of background, it can produce quite a challenge. A challenge that requires patience. Mistakes are inevitable, frustrations are sure to come. Why aren't we prepared for this. No one teaches us how to mend our hearts from harsh words. Stick and stones may break bones, and words may scar the soul. People aren't immune to the thoughts of others. Why do we allow ourselves to endure verbal shots from others. Many answer that question with the empty phrase "That's Life." That often leaves people wondering about what they already know. We know the feelings we are experiencing, we want to know why we experience them, and how do we prepare ourselves for that thing called love.
