A person is naturally selfish, that’s why he loves. He loves in order to receive love. This thing he wouldn’t admit, but he wants something in return for the things that he has given. When we love, its either we wanted to gain material wealth (physiological), a person to talk to (emotional) or someone who can gave us answer during exam week.
Love is nothing but selfishness. We love someone whom are peers would recognize as handsome or beautiful. We love someone “good” for our peers because it is what makes us feel admired by the people that surround us.
I don’t consider God loving mankind. I won’t argue His existence. Let’s presume that He exist for the time being. God never loved mankind, what would he receive in return of loving mankind. Maybe God wants recognition; he probably created us so that we can praise Him. Just think of the world full of animals praising God. Then it would be more likely like an El Shadai, with the woes of the crowd. God would probably get bored hearing the chirping of the birds or the mighty roars of the lion.
God then loved mankind, if we speak only of these matters. But what is more evident is that God cared for us. In which, we can say that, Caring for someone is a thousand times better than loving someone. God never created mankind to praise him. He cared for the whole world that’s why He anointed leaders in the manifestation of man to govern with prudence the world He has created. While He cared for the world, He also cared for Man by allowing him to judge things according to his own set of values. God doesn’t want man to feel sorry for him, so He has given him the opportunity to decide on what is right and wrong.
Look at America, deciding on what is right and wrong. They are after all God’s creation! Then are the people (referred by USA as terrorists) who does not favor American policies not! Then for sure USA loved the world. The whole point of these is the never ending Caring of God for mankind… and not about His Love.
Then if this is so, the “For God so loved the World” could be argued as wrongly translated and should instead be “For God so cared for the World”. When Eve gave Adam the apple, it was because Eve loved him. Adam loved her in return that’s why he accepted her gift. But let us assume that if only Eve cared for Adam she won’t let her share her uncertainty.
Caring, they say is one of the components of Love. You can not truly love if you don’t care. Why is this so? Can’t you Love while caring for someone! When we cared for the sick and the homeless don’t we love them? When we have sex with our girlfriends in the mighty name of Love are we caring for them…for their future?
There are times that we Love. We imagine that we Love. But all that we thought about is the Joy of Love. Well, Joy can also be a transfiguration of Evil to prevent itself from being recognized. Love kills and Love hurts. Have we ever heard that caring hurts?
Why is it that America always shouts “God bless America”? Maybe because they love their country so much. Let us all shout “God bless America and God crush Iraq”. After all the lowly and meek countries are Loved by America… and She has long been expecting their never ending Love.
We have Valentine’s Day, though it might sounds reasonable, we are basing a celebration of an event on animal’s instinct to procreate during that particular time. It is as if on Valentine a deafening shout that seems unrecognizable for its ability to blend with society is not being heard.
