"LOVE COSTS A MILLION THINGS ” BUT COST NOTHING TO GIVE

If you care so much about someone, you will push to go the extra mile just to see the person progress; it should - in this case - without a doubt cost you a thing. It is natural that one cannot but do so. Love is extremely valuable yet not everyone can give it; the odds of transparency are boundless yet only a limited number can give it. Love is not a commandment yet just a few can keep its appeal for commitment. Love is not a race yet just a few can run on the track of passion with enthusiasm. Love is liberal and kind yet many are been egotistical and unkind. Love is like an anthem to be sung by all yet just a few can recite its lyrics. If love does not cost a thing, then love will never have been in existence because love is SACRIFICE and sacrifice might cost more than a million things but cost nothing to express in given.

With regards to the above, I shall argue that it does not make any sense to speak of love without emotions. Emotions without realism and expression with which these feelings are expressed are unrealistic. Hence, the sacrifice that inspires these emotions costs more than just a million things. To this effect, the notion; "Love doesn't cost a thing" could either be affirmed or negated. I could on my part say that love costs a thing but costs nothing to give. If love is a gift from nature, with which life is formed; and life, a gift to love that makes man express emotions - then indeed - one needs not a proof to say that love costs a million things but cost nothing to give.

Generally, we humans with our analytical personalities are susceptible to more of a logic, than emotions. Our amiable tendencies look at satisfying ourselves regardless of what the other party feels. In this case, more of logic and less of emotions is needed. But love requires more emotion and less logic and in most persuasive situations, people respond in light of feelings than legitimize their actions with logic and facts.

On the contrary, there are situations where the feelings that result in physical and mental changes influence our conduct. It requires sacrificial giving; a lot of emotions has to be paid for. People are usually unaware of the subconscious sacrifices and pains they undergo. It is this subconscious commitment that makes individuals describe love as a mysterious thing that follows no rules. But the truth is that once they become aware of their subconscious immolations, they become wary and watchful (especially in cases of a past heartbreak). Love is a motivating goal for humans and our behavior can be explained by our attempts to achieve this goal. Love is able, capable, humble and above all, attainable, Love is likewise not selfish.

The best thing one will ever learn is essential to love and be cherished in return. Most of the time, we often need someone to reciprocate that action. By so doing, we fail to realize that Love is in giving, not in getting. It cost a lot of things to give willingly, just to see the other person smile again.

When we lose that exceptionally extraordinary one we adore, when our sentiments and feelings get hurt, when we feel double-crossed by those we thought cherished us, love turns out to be merely a thing. When we fail to give in our all when we pretend we care, love costs a million things, Without love in existence, a man won't have the ability to express a world of emotions. If life is a gift to man as man is a gift to nature, and nature is a proof of our existence that God is the ultimate creator, then God is love. "Does this then mean that God does not cost a thing"? Of course, He does. God Almighty is the author and the finisher of all things. If God is love then love is God, because, if God can sacrifice his only son to die for mankind to redeem man for life. I believe that this demonstration is the height of sacrifice which sought to redeem man to live. Yes, love does not cost a thing to give but costs a million things to give.

To receive is to be loved, to sacrifice is to love. Love is worth more than a million in whatever currency. We may have sacrificed all we had just to make that very special person we love happy. It could have cost us our time, money, emotions, pleasure. It could likewise make us cry, sad and happy. It could even cost our life and all that is worth to be sacrificed for love.

Love accompanies numerous secrets leaving our customary range of familiarity to do the unforeseen; it could be the good, the bad and the ugly.

When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with just creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotion as well. Emotions create movement and action, even logic plays the role of creating a foundation for emotion but in simple words; we are all emotional beings which is what makes us human. We cannot rely entirely on emotion until our logical side has been engaged yet we say love does not cost a thing. To me, it takes more than a million things to express love but cost nothing to give. Love cannot be separated from emotions because it is through emotions that we can express love.

As long as there is love, emotions must exist and they must be driven by a force which is psychological aligned with our conviction.

To love is to feel. To feel is to have emotions. To have emotion is to sacrifice. To sacrifice is to be human. To be human is to be mortal. To be mortal is to have a life. To have life is to have emotion. To have emotion is to love. To love is to sacrifice and sacrifice costs more than just a million things. Not all human can give love, yet it does not cost a thing to give.

LOVE INDEED COSTS A MILLION THINGS TO EXPRESS BUT COST NOTHING TO GIVE.
