What is love?

Personally, I love Valentine's Day, it just doesn't love me back.

But whether you love or hate Valentine's Day, I think this quote makes you think differently about love altogether.

If you can master not judging others for their choices and mistakes, we would all be living in a much safer and calmer place.

I'm not saying i've mastered it, but i'm definitely trying!

I agree and of course this is how we should all be. It's the only way to really achieve that happiness factor that we crave as human beings, but when we look at everyday decision making in reality, can we really say we have all done this to the nth degree? Chosen to leave a job as soon as it got tiresome and less rewarding or did we stick it out to get that promotion we thought was well deserved after however many hours, months or even years of effort went into it.  Can we honestly agree that every relationship we have been in has served us well, or made us grow for that matter?  I think not.  It's sad to admit but the decisions we make in life don't often involve our own happiness as a first basic instinct. We tend to rationalise and within a capitalist society we try to b...
