Paradoxically Necessary

Love is paradoxical.

It causes one to smile the sweetest of smiles and spit the bitterest bile.

It possess the power for one to burn passionately with a flame of new desires and yet cause another to suffer the mundane of a routine.

It sparks a new beginning and ends another.

It lifts one to cloud nine and drops one in the arms of Hades.

It stirs a laughter and makes one cry a waterfall.

Love is, ultimately, the creator of emotions--a necessary element to ignite the deepest fibers of our souls to allow each of us to be truly alive.
