Three Hundred Thirty-Five

There’s never an inappropriate expression of real love. There’s never a reason to be embarrassed to love someone. Yes, we’ve created artificial boundaries that keep us from being “in love” with people we love, or at least expressing our love for certain people, but the reality is that artificial boundaries don’t always work. A boss can love an employee; we say it’s not right, but who are we to condemn the emotion? A woman can love her husband’s best friend; sure, there may be dangerous complications, but by what right can we judge that love wrong? We have a thousand reasons and we practice a thousand ways to say our rationale for our condemnation is right. But we’re not right. People love one another; it’s not necessarily a reasonable emotion, but it’s the best emotion we can share.
