It is true that every day you are faced with the choice
To live for love
Or to love to live
The best option is not and never will be definite
It could be that life is not worth living if only fueled by a desire to emote love
But in a similar vein, it could be that a life not fueled by passion isn’t life at all
It could be that it is self-centered and self-serving to indulge in personal happiness
But in a similar vein, it could be that it doesn’t matter, in the end, your effect on others joy
You will live, and you will love
But one must outrank the other
The two, unfortunately, cannot cohabitate as every loss and every gain has a contradiction
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
Every lift you experience is weighted by someone
And you must act as a weight to every person you lift
