I was thinking of how I can describe love to you but, the words proved hard to find. According to many people, it is the very element that makes the world go round. It is really hard to describe. Effects or results of it are better seen and, it is something that we have to all think about; hard. Affection and kindness are the most recognized elements to it. There are several forms of love. There is one that is between us and God, one that is between a parent and his or her children and a love that is between a man and a woman which is also called erotic love. The most recognized form of affection is one that is erotic. It brings people of different worlds together to explore life together. It is from here that the other form of affection comes up, like the one between siblings and parents. Religious people have a different view and, Christians have a very interesting perception of it. According to the bible, God is love. This alone is a source of great confusion for many.

However, to go around the complications that arise from this issue, it is vital to recognize that there are many explanations and it cannot be singled out as one thing. There are many characteristics of affection. According to Christians, it is gentle and kind. In other words, it brings harmony and peace to people. It is also giving and slow to anger. Therefore, it can be described using so many virtues and, it is the mother of all virtues. It is really hard to fully explore what it is all about. Between a man and a woman, it has to be present for them to make a life long commitment. In Christianity, God has loved people unconditionally and so should we. It is often hard to think of unconditional affection but, it is best demonstrated by God himself. Today, cases of divorce have gone up alarmingly and, it is the absence of this affection that is the major cause.

There is no formula for getting or having it. It is something we are born with. Humans are able to show it as well as animals. When animals give birth to their young ones, nobody tells them to care for the offspring and, they do so faithfully until the little one is able to stand on their feet. It is a mystery that we are yet to unravel. There has been effort to explain it in a scientific manner. This effort has not yielded a lot because the source is still unknown. To religious people, the source is God but to scientists, it is hard to tell. Whatever you believe about affection, know that there is no specific explanation that can answer all the questions we have. It still remains a big mystery. The best thing to do then is to experience it practically. Many who have fallen in it say that it is the best feeling in the world. It makes a person want to spend the rest of their lives with someone. For a mother, it can make her give up her own life for the sake of her young one. One thing we can agree on is that, it is the most powerful force in the world.
