The Only Rule(s) for Love

     I've been trying to write an article about the rules for love. But... I can't. Because the truth is that the whole world has its views and beliefs about what being in love means and what it entails, but the hardcore truth is there is only one rule for love: Do not be responsible for the hurt done to the person you love.
     Simply put: do not disrespect, dishonor, or belittle your significant other. And, I'm not just talking about romantic love. This rule is for all kinds of love. Love for your family. Love for your friends. Love for your lover. Just Do Not Hurt Them.
     Yes, of course, the beliefs of society are also very good rules. Don't cheat. Always be there. Stand united. Etc. These are the ideals we all hope to have in any relationship. I mean afterall, who wants to be betrayed by someone they love or someone who claims to love them? No one, that's who.
     I have this romanticized view on loving people. I love everyone with my whole heart and there is nothing I wouldn't do to help them. I would indeed sacrifice my life for them if needed. I know, I know. Many people say the same thing and of course don't follow through. But, believe it or not, I am one of the few people left alive that can love unconditionally.
     Society has belittled emotions and feelings to be irrational and illogical. And, yes, I definitely agree that they are, but it does not make them any less important. How someone feels influences how they think- and that determines what kind of person they are. It is all linked.
     People have become so selfish in this day and age. And, I think it is because they are afraid to be hurt. - Well, they should be. But, that doesn't mean they should hold themselves off or follow through self destructive tendencies.
     Why cheat? If you love someone- shouldn't you have all you want and need in that person? What are you seeking elsewhere?
     Always be there- If you expect your significant other to be there- you should be there for them in turn. It is only fair. And, yes. A relationship does need to be fair. It cannot be one sided. One person cannot be more important than another. Because, in the ideal world, no one person is more important than another.
     Support your significant other in whatever endeavors they pursue. The world is full of people ready to put a person down. They do not need it from you. What they need from you is support. Always support people you love. Even if you think it is stupid and you disagree with every atom of your being. Support them. Because you never know how important it is to them.
     In the end, I just simply advise that you just love the person with all you heart and do everything you possibly can to make them happy. Push aside the fear, because fear will get you nothing. Live and love as much as you can.
