The Mystery of Love

Love makes you feel special.  It changes everyone for the better.  It is the one commodity that multiplies when you give it away.  The more you spread it around, the more you are able to hang on to it because it keeps coming back to you.  Where love is concerned, it pays to be an absolute spendthrift.  It cannot be bought or sold, so give it away.  Throw it away.  Splash it all over!  Empty your pockets!  Shake the basket!  Turn it upside down!  Shower it on everyone--even those who don't deserve it!  You may startle them into behaving in a way you never dreamed possible.  Not only is it the sweet mystery of life, it is the most powerful motivator known to humankind.
