Only one love at a time

Is it possible that we can love more than one person at a time?

Some people believe that you can only love one person at a time. That loving two or more at once, simply isn't possible.

I don't believe that. I believe that we can love more than one person at a time. It doesn't even have to be about being with that person. We certainly love our children, pets, and family/friends all at once. In different ways, and in different methods, but we love them.

How is that so different?

You're not asking them to be with you, or trying to deny the love exists, but it is possible to love more than one person at one time. To deny that is to deny yourself. To fight it, is to fight yourself.

Is it really selfish to love more than one person at a time? No, of course not. To love is to be selfless. You're not asking for something in return from them. You're not asking them to give anything up. You're simply giving them something precious about you.

Your love.

It's only when we ask them for something in return, or rather, expect it, that it becomes selfish love. Not so much giving them that.

The human heart was born to love. We were born to love. It's what we're here for. If more people weren't afraid to love people, even if it means being without that person, maybe we'd become better people to each other. It's not a bad thing to love someone, even if your'e not with them. It's all a part of life. We're not always meant to be with the ones we love. It just means that there is someone else better out there for us. There is someone out there thinking the same thing about you too.

Simply love...

Do you think it's a bad thing to love more than one at a time?
