What is love? (baby, don't hurt me!)

...thought about acceptance? What is being accepted? The Merriam-Webster dictionary describes acceptance as "the act of accepting or the fact of being accepted". Is acceptance really what we're after? Is our desire for people to accept us? Can there be acceptance without love? Can you fully accept someone if you don't love them? Although, you can accept someone as a person but not love them at all. What is contradiction? If we want love, where do we want it from? People? What happens to our personality when we receive or seemingly miss out on that love we are so desperate for? Do we, as people, change? Do we, as friends, change? Dr. David Naugle describes humans as "lovers". God is love, and we are made in His image, so we crave love. Though, how dangerous it is when we search for the love given by God in others. The purpose of this post isn't because I want an answer. It isn't out of sheer curiosity on my behalf. It isn't even a way of venting. The purpose of posting was to raise a question in the mind of the reader. What are you after? "Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead. This is your life, are you who you want to be? This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be when the world was younger, and you had everything to lose?" Today is all you have. Love. Pray. That's all. Play me off, Johnny!
