To Live to Love

Or to Love to Live

By Riley CotterPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

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
