"Bart, with $10,000, we'd be millionaires! We could buy all kinds of useful things like...love!"~by, Homer J Simpson.
I came across this quote just now and thought this was hilarious. A man tells his son that with as little as $10,000 he can buy love. What does that say about the meaning of love? Is love so easy it can be packaged, bought or sold? I sometimes wonder what love would look like if it were an
inanimate object. Would is be w
orthy of display? How big each love be? Does everyone have the same kind of love ? Would we try to wear it everywhere we go ? Imagine seeing physically all the people who
truly carry their heart on their sleeve. Would love be a trend? I wonder if people would have different types of love for every outfit they wear or people they meet? Even better would they think wearing love for each outfits make them look too soft and just leave it at home. Would they keep there's locked away so no would could look at and admire it? I wonder if love would be an everlasting gobstopper that never shrinks or would be those candy balls you suck all day on that would eventually
diminish little by little
every time you suck on it. Do you think it would only come out on special occasions? Wait, what would happen if we ran out of LOVE on
Christmas do think the last love
piece be sold on EBAY?
Do you think you would pick what kind of love you like as you would pick a puppy at a pet store? What happens if the love you pick bit someone in rage. Is love available to have a tune-up every year? What if LOVE was heavy, do you think people would still want to carry it around on their backs. Do you think some people become addicted and need to go to rehab followed by go to a 12 step program every
Monday night? What if love was something you were not supposed to speak about in public would you keep it a secret from everyone? What if love was disguised as trash would you still carry it around with you. Or would it look better if love was rich, shiny and new every day. What if love was a gust of cool air on the hot summer day that would only blow fresh air in your direction when you needed it? Would you resent love for only giving you your needs not your wants? Would I still find love if it were as small as grain of sand? Would you make sure not to lose it?
If I could pick the type of LOVE to c
arry in my lifetime it would have to be HUGE, bright, soft, consistent, wise and warm.
HUGE because I want the people I give my love to always see it's
presence.
Bright because the shine will always blind you.
Consistent so I would never question it's presence in my life or anyone
else's either.
Soft enough you can snuggle with it.
Wise because I would want it to lead me and you somewhere enlightening.
Warmth because it makes anyone feel safe.
I want it plastered with my name all over it so I would always know which one is mine. It would be in case locked with a special key code only my trusty confidants would have a code to after years of training.
If love was an
inanimate object I hope your label would have all these ingredients without the calories. Crossing Finger! :)
