Opposites

Opposites Give or Take? Love should have no opposites but it does Love should be the opposite of love but it is not Hate is not the opposite either Most people think it is It seems to make sense since hate is evil Selfishness is the one true opposite of love Since selfishness is only taking for one’s self Causing pain, loneliness, leaving suffering behind Selfishness is a lonely business, paid for with your soul Love is simply giving Giving all the time, no cause, effect or strings attached When you have love there are no mistakes Love cost nothing It is free and last forever through eternity GIVE or TAKE is your decision

Good morning Jan. It's Sunday so I'm trying to be a good boy. I wanted to create something cohesive and meaningful. I'm glad you liked it. In reality this poem is true. I hope you have a wonderful day. Earl
