Love

It is important to love people for who they are.

You can like them for what they do.  Adore them for how they act.  Get a chuckle out of their antics, or shake your head in wonder that they can survive the way they are.

You can even put them up on pedestals as long as you understand that pedestals are man made things and things made by man eventually tumble down.

But love is sacred.  It is what flows through us and gives us life.   If it was possible to paint love, graven images might have been allowed.

Loving someone does not imply that what they do is okay, or how they do it is right. 

Love is one of those things that only exists as a reflection and who it reflects is complicated.

That it does exist is all I know for sure.
