Love...?

Is true love real?  Yes, I think it is real.  A lot of the time, we use the word "love" without thinking twice.  For example, a child might say,  "I love ice cream!" or "I love candy!"  Teenagers also use the word "love" towards their boyfriend or girlfriend,  I don't think that we quite understand the strength of the word.  We use it left and right without thinking twice.  In the example of the child, I don't think it is necessarily bad, but in the example of the teenagers, yes, I do think it is wrong.  I think one should wait until the right person comes along before they start saying, "I love you".  Since we use the "L" word so much, we don't really take the time to think about what it means, therefore degrading the real definition.  The end effect of this would be people thinking that love will come right away and they are confused when the one whom they said "I love you" to walks away.  The phrase "I love you" is meant for the person one is planning to spend their whole lives with.  The word "love" has a power that most people don't understand, so we should preserve that power and save the real definition of love.

I find pleasure in reading works by the author Joan Bauer..  She has a writing style that I really like and I enjoy reading her books.  This book was really captivating and I haven't been able to find a book that has drawn me in from the first sentence like this one has in a while.  Her other book that I have written a review on, Hope Was Here, was just as captivating as this one.  As soon as I had Rules of the Road in my hands, I sat in bed and read half of it within an hour and a half.  I had the entire book read in a day.  I tend to do this a lot as I have an incredible reading speed.  This is exactly the type of book that people like me love.  I'm looking forward to get my next book by Joan Bauer.

 

Abortion is one of the worlds most preformed surgical procedures, but the average person knows very little about its gruesome reality.  What is being destroyed is not a blob of cells, it's a living thing!  "The word fetus (plural fetuses) is from the Latin fetus, meaning offspring, bringing forth, hatching of young (Wikipedia)."  People like to call the tiny baby a "fetus" so that it does not sound like a human is being murdered in the process of abortion.  It's maddening when one thinks that the fact that no one cares to do anything as 3,000 "fetuses" are being killed every day in the U.S. and 130,000 world wide!  Thats 47,450,000 abortions every year!  If that amount of young or teenage children were being killed every year, we would do something about it!  Yet, we silently brush the fact aside.  We say to ourselves, "Those little blobs of cells are not worth anything anyway" and we go on with daily life.  I attended the March For Life in Washington D.C. and I was greatly encouraged that there were so many people who are against abortion, but there is still the rest of the world.  We have to take action against this act of murder and stop it.  It is not a human right, it's murder, plain and simple.
