cupid and psyche

While many people might say they are motivated by money, or power, I suggest that everybody on earth is motivated by LOVE. Love is part of the soul, and to have a moment of self-realization where the soul finds love is not only poetic but the ultimate peak of happiness. If one loves power or one's self, even that qualifies...but it is far from realization.
The quest for the soul to find love is the most arduous and gruelling journey in life. To find true love one must expose one's self and find one's self and love one's self. This is harder for some than it is for others. My sister was born loving herself, but she has a hard time loving others because she can't let herself go or give herself over for fear of ridicule or rejection.
To find love is to find yourself as you were before the world did things to you, like made you think a certain way, or made you give up on dreams you've always had. To find love and posess it and know it clearly in the light of day is to metamorphoses into a being that you have always been but never been either.You will be more yourself than you have ever been before.
ps
loving can be anything. You can love people or you can love skiing or running. ANYTHING, that's what's so beautiful about it.
