Love Ain't What It Used To Be

A friend of mine was talking about love and how it had been
devalued, like many other precious things, in this age of selfishness
and materialism.
He argues that love is used now-a-days as a synonym for sex, what is
now called making love has become a spectator sport and will probably
become an Olympic event before long.

He sent me this abridged form of Paul's ideal of love in his letter to
the Corinthians:-

"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I
am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of
prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have
a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I
give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but
have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it
is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily
angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always
hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But
the greatest of these is love."

I read these words and I realised just how far we have fallen.

Does such love still exists but it is not fashionable to mention it
because it is seen as 'corny'?

Thank you for your love Mykle.

Long live Love!
