Authentic Love?
have you ever experienced authentic love? not love coerced by culture and custom by law or nature but pure love like the love for or from a dog or cat like love for a sublime work of art but directed or received toward or from another person? i don't know what to make of it nature confusing me to the nature of love when nature's times of plenty or poor times of feast or famine times of harmony or distress seem to dictate differences in what love sometimes blind sometimes fearless sometimes sacrificial sometimes practical is if you know without reference to scripture what authentic love for and between us is then please let us know cause authentic love is beginning to feel like a myth of culture and custom law and nature showing us one thing then something else completely different like risking death for one of the litter then casting them all off to whatever fate without much distress once it's time to produce and defend another litter maybe the one of the litter defended by its mother is intended to find another to give and receive what its mother once gave replacing it with the care and concern of one of its own kind or another maybe that is the force that binds by animal instinct cat loving dog loving human without all this weighty burdensome scrutiny from reason most likely i'm looking for a simple answer to a riddle that has no solution cause love seems to be many things between the extremes of selfless and selfish caring and callous so to accept it as all those things never pure never authentic never one simple thing might be the harder but wiser way
