Love is Like...

LOVE and LIKE have becoming interesting words in today's society. When girls tell their friends about crushes its not just

Girl 1: So Do you like him?

its become

Girl 1: So do you like him?
Girl 2: Of course I like him! Whats not to like?
Girl 1: No! I mean do you LIKE like him?

We say we love our fries or our pizza but is that the same as loving our moms and dads?

These phenomena have been explored and discussed to death when I noted that there is one area that is often overlooked when it comes to Love and Like.

When it comes to Loving someone and Liking someone, sometimes Liking someone is even more crucial.

Think of a relationship between siblings. These people are born into a family together, or even placed into a situation together that are beyond their own choosing. For the most part this bond of family creates a love that cannot be explained. As mad as you get as your sister or brother you still love them, you can't help it but you do.

The question of like on the other hand is very different. Often siblings are plagued with moments when they don't like each other. Like is conditional. Like is temporary and fleeting.

SO what does it mean when relationships rely on the temporary likes above the eternal and unconditional loves?

If we can't choose who are siblings are should we begrudge them by not liking them all the time?

I can't say for sure where I'm going with this but I know... that I'm glad I have the choice and I make the positive choice when it comes to my relationship with my family.

I love them and I like them and for me it makes my days sunnier.
