Work and Play

If you are in love, that’s a good thing, that’s about the best thing that can happen to anyone. Don’t let anyone make it small or light to you.

There are several kinds of love. One is a selfish, mean, grasping, egotistical thing which uses love for self-importance. This is the ugly and crippling kind. The other is an outpouring of everything good in you of kindness and consideration and respect. Not only the social respect of manners but the greater respect which is recognition of another person as unique and valuable. The first kind can make you sick and small and weak but the second can release in you strength, and courage and goodness and even wisdom you didn’t know you had.

You say this is not puppy love. If you feel so deeply of course it isn’t puppy love.
But I don’t think you should be asking what you feel. You know better than anyone. What you need to know is, what should you do about it? and that I can tell you.
Glory in it for one thing and be very glad and grateful for it.

The object of love is the best and most beautiful. Try to live up to it.
If you love someone, there is no possible harm in saying so . Only you must remember that some people are very shy and sometimes the saying must take that shyness into consideration.

Girls have a way of knowing or feeling what you feel, but they usually like to hear it also.
It sometimes happens that what you feel is not returned for one reason or another, but that does not make your feeling less valuable and good.

Lastly, I know your feeling because I have it and I’m glad you have it.

We will be glad to love and spread love. Don't just work! Work!! Work!!!
Work, play and love.
