listen for love




there are times when we are timid and shy about expressing the love we feel for feel of embarrassing the other person to ourselves, we hesitate to say the actual words " i love you" so we try to communicate the idea in other wordswe are sometimes very strange people. the only thing we want to say and the only thing we should say is the one thing we didn't say and yet because the feeling is so real and the need to say it is so strong , we are driven to use other words and signs to say what we really mean and many times the meaning never gets communicated at all and the other person is left feeling unloved and unwanted.therefore we have to listen for love in the words that people we're saying to us, sometimes explicit words are necessary but more often, the manner of saying things is even more important, a joyous insult carries more affection and love than the complimented, which are expressed insincerely an impulsive hug says i love you even though the words might be saying different.any expression of person's concern for another says " i love you" sometimes the expression is clumsy,sometimes even cruel, so sometimes we must look and listen very intently for the love it contains but its often there beneath the surface.we don't always understand the love languages other people are using. A girl might unwillingly use tears to convey her emotions, but for no avail, her boyfriend ain't understand her because he doesn't know how to interpret her tears, thus we really have to exert effort in enforcing ourselves to listen for love.one enormous problem with other world is that we rarely listen, to each other, we only hear words which makes us kiss "the more important but inaudible messages that the body expresses, even worse, others have given up on being understood so everything told to them is interpreted as rejections, they do not see the love that is there just beneath the surface especially with angry words, you know what, if we'd only listens intently we discover with out most delight that we are much more loved than we let ourselves think.
