all you need is love

Valentine's Day

What is love? “All you need is love…” “'Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.” It’s arguably the principal theme of songs, drama and poetry and right now, all over the opening aisles of supermarkets in the lead up to Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day tends to focus on love as a physical attraction, an infatuation, a desire. It’s something we simply feel – or don’t! – towards someone else. The emphasis put on it by the world fools many into thinking that this is the ultimate kind of love to aspire to; the stuff that makes marriages work.
