Twenty-Six Degrees of Love


This Valentine's Day, I would be happy if we were all reminded that love is not just romantic, not just the Eros kind. Probably, the romantic kind of love is not really love. Maybe it is just attraction. Let us not confuse the two.

There are many worthwhile forms of love. It can be love for your seatmate in Math class, love for your favorite band's front man, love for your dog who chews on your slippers, love for your teacher who criticized your work, love for your craft, love for free time, love of hugging, love of hair dyes, love of free cuts, love of mother to child, love of gummy bears, love of baked potato, love for Simon Cowell, love for your alarm clock, love of Facebook, love for the person who bugs you in YM, love of singing in the shower, love of long warm baths, love of Christmas, love of your crush's smile, love for your external hard drive, love of random days out, love for the person who picked your pen when it fell, love of time spent alone, love of Earl Grey Tea.


I'm sure once in your life you have loved.

Happy Valentine's Day!
