I didn't ask retorically... no one has ideas or thoughts on this???

I'll give you a quick thought, Alura.

Love shouldn't cost. I know when I've been wholeheartedly in love, the price never even entered into the equation. It has only been when feelings got hurt or the truth evolved from lie that there has been a price. Even then, it was more a price for foolishness.

So, yeah, in a perfect world where everyone knows what they want and need and can convey such as understandable to their partner, love has no price, no cost. In this world, though, the one in which I live anyway, the price is two lifetimes of patience, at least as much understanding, and faith and hope. Without at least faith and hope, we are all fairly bankrupt.

the price of love...it can cost you everything....it can be your everything...and the healing of a broken heart seems to take forever.

What is the price of a life without love??

Each choice we make comes with a price... each choice that we make closes other paths that we might have chosen. If there is a price to be paid for choosing a path, there is also a price for choosing another path in its stead.

When I chose to love the woman of my dreams, I surrendered to her completely. Was there sacrifice on my part? I didn't see it that way; she was what I wanted and she wanted me just as deeply. There were choices to be made or course, but I made them as I did because I chose to be with her. If I had made other choices, then we would not have been together and I wanted her as a part of my life.

The day she died was the hardest of my life... I was not sure that I would ever be able to go on in her absence. However, she had been sick for a while and that gave us time to say good bye to each other. If I had never met her I would not hurt, but then I would not have the memories and experiences of being truly and deeply loved.

Yes, love can be unconditional and that can make the experience like nothing else this world or life has to offer. She is a part of me now and that leaves me riches greater than all the wealth of this world.

I just went through the most painful hurt that i could have never imagined my new friend...but to make the long story short...I was inLove for the first time 13 years ago, married for 10, and sperated for 2 years. He most def broke me living me and my two beautiful children behind. I was broken very deeply and he bashed me and broke my spirit in every way possible.

Needless to say, I survived and have become and still am, becoming stronger and regconizing my power and the love for self. It was a hard lesson for me to except that i gave up everything i had for this person but that was my own fault for not reserving some of that love for me. For not sharing in all equal parts of my Love to everything and every one unconditionally. Not judging or should i say...
NO FEAR of LOVING & BE LOVED in return.

This is not a price nor is this a sacrafice...just no fear of having an open heart sincere and true. Shining ever so brightly to share it and receive it right back and embrace everything about it. WOW!!! Sounds very Beautiful because it is just this way for me now. I'm very Blessed to have these feelings of Love tocuh my heart & Soul and be able to share to many who cross my path! Just like you Alura!

Lovelight & Blessings,
