The Cost of Love

~ Gottfried

You can’t put a price tag on love. But if you could, I’d wait for it to go on sale. Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties. The best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly who you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly or pretty. 

Love is like a toothache, it doesn’t show up on X-rays, but you know it’s there. Love is patient, love is kind. Love means slowly losing your mind. The right person is still going to think the sun shines out of your ass. That’s the kind of person worth sticking with. 

Love is what costs nothing but is worth everything. They say you can’t put a price on love, but I’ll settle for a price on housework. Love to be real must cost, it must hurt, it must empty us of self. You don’t love because; you love despite. Not for the virtues, but despite the faults. 

I love you even when you snore, though I still contemplate pillow suffocation. An archeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her. Love is blind, and that explains why so many of us end up at the altar. 

They say love is more important than money, but have you ever tried to pay a bill with a hug? My friends tell me I have an intimacy problem, but they don’t really know me. Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own. Insane really. 

Loving can cost a lot, but not loving costs more. Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality. One of the best forms of loving is when you just want the best for someone, whether it includes you or not. I promise to always be at your side. 

Or under you, or on top.

  1. SMiLes Mr Gottfried “Falling In Love”

    Per the Reproductive Instinct Will Be

    A Mountain to Climb Indeed Yet

    RiSinG LoVE
    Giving Freely
    Sharing Caring
    Healing Expects
    Nothing in Return
    As The Giving Lifting Others

    Up is the Same As Receiving
    In Terms of Natural Intrinsic

    Rewards that Nature
    Gifts Us With in

    Cooperation
    ThiS WaY For
    Survival of THE EnTiRE

    Species in Balance With
    The Rest of Nature True Now too

    Ah Yes ‘Let Your Love Flow Like A Mountain
    Stream’ So Free Rafting Others Down the Stream

    Emptying Rivers into Bays Gulfs Seas Oceans More

    One Big Happy School of Love Fish As Love Is What
    Swims Us
    Below and
    Flies Us
    Above As Free Wings

    Both Levels Become
    TWiLiGHT iN Balancing NoW NeW..:)

      1. “Do you think we’d make babies without the instinct?”

        Seriously What A Profound Question You Bring Mr Gottfried

        And In General ‘HiSToRiCaLLY’ What Ignorance Humans Have

        Brought in RelationShips

        to the Ignorance of the

        Value of Libido and

        Lust For the Desire

        For Procreation in General Indeed

        As Even Science Shows ‘Lust’ Is a Major
        Driving Factor of Not Only ‘The Act of Physical Reproduction’

        Yet a Major Driver of Creative Activity and Productivity as Males
        Naturally Are Driven to Creativity in Association With Lust for Reproductive

        Activities
        All Naturally
        And Instinctually True

        Whereas Women When Competing
        Lusting For Reproductive Mates Will Exhibit
        Cooperative Activities With Other Females

        To Show Who is Most Nurturing For Successful
        Raising of Children in a Garden of LoVE iN Peace

        For Overall
        Cooperation
        of the Human Social
        Animal Working and
        Playing Freely Together

        Becoming More Naked Enough
        Whole Complete ThiS WaY Yes

        Indigenously Before Tainted
        With The Guilty Musings of

        Religions Attempting
        to Control Reproductive
        Freedoms and Even Water

        Down the Human Species
        Into Something Less When the
        Full Competitive and Cooperative
        Nature is Muted By Otherwise ‘Incels’

        in Failure

        Yet With
        Power to
        Control
        The Reproductive
        Proclivities when Other Wise Free…

        Of Course one Way Humans Overcome
        The Loss Of Libido and Lust among Women

        Is Through Marital Rape Sadly Still Legal in
        So Many Countries Failing to Meet a Real Way

        Of Compassionate
        And Kind Love for
        All Human Beings Peacefully

        Yes And Sadly too CuLTuRES
        That Repress the Connection
        of Human Males and Females

        Are Often Tainted With Rape
        of the Youngest and Most

        Vulnerable Among Us
        Mostly Among Family
        Associations and Sadly
        Incestual Relations too

        Ah Yes in this Evil Way We’ve Seen
        What’s Happened in Both Catholic
        And Protestant Churches too With

        Those in Power in Relation to the
        Most Vulnerable Among Us as Well…

        Oh What a Tainted World Humans Weave iNdeed

        And We Shouldn’t Be So Sure We aRe That Much Different
        Genetically and Instinctually than the Common Rodent We Share

        An Ancestor With around
        75 Million Years Ago Either

        As Recently Mice are Shown
        to Be Trained to Drive Small
        Vehicles to Obtain the Lust

        Literally
        For Fruit Loops
        That Common

        Sugary Cereal Indeed…

        And As James B Calhoun’s
        “Mouse Utopia” Study Still Relates

        From the 1960’s Commonly Called the

        “Beautiful Ones” as He Provided A Mouse Utopia

        With All They Could Eat Subsistence in a Limited

        Area of Instant Gratification Finding that Initially the
        Population Increased Yet Eventually With the Loss of Social
        Roles and No Longer a Need to Protect Territory for Subsistence

        The Male Mice Incessantly Groomed Themselves all Day Without
        Scars In Defense

        of their Territories
        Coupling Up as Well

        Indeed Described as ‘the
        Beautiful Ones’ ThiS Way

        The Female Rats became

        More Aggressive Pair Bonding
        With Each Other and the Male and Female

        Mice Libido Yes Lust For Sexual Reproduction

        Faded Away into Oblivion and that Particular Mouse

        Utopia

        Finally
        Went into
        Local Extinction

        Well Well Well in Highly
        Technological Societies of
        All Work and Instant Gratification

        of Japan and South Korea Increasingly
        the Younger Folks Are Losing All Desire
        Yes Lust For Reproduction with Literal Physical Others

        Hehe they are even Paying the Big Bucks in Incentive to Do
        ‘The Wild Thing’ and Reproduce Children to Keep the Species going

        Fertilization Rates
        Are Going Down
        Around the

        Highly Instant
        Gratified Developed

        Nations While Guess What

        in Your Country Nigeria ‘Reproductive
        Business’ is Still Booming And Blooming

        This is the Beauty of Diversity Mr Gottfried

        Some Humans Will Continue to Find a Way

        to

        ‘Just
        Do It’ Hehe
        With SMiLes

        And It’s True

        Make it Taboo

        And They Will Even do it more

        Sadly too Whether it Harms other Folks or Not

        Particularly the Most Vulnerable Among us as Always too…

        Chances Are We Leave This Planet in a Different Way than this

        More Sudden

        Like an
        Asteroid

        We Create

        From What i’ve seen Lately

        The ‘Apex’ Description of

        Humans as Predators is

        More Reflective of

        How they

        Are

        Capable
        of Shooting
        Their Selves Both

        At Least for now

        New Sadly so Many

        Others Live in ‘The Other Places’

        Now For Real as My ReaLiTy is True too…

        Otherwise it wouldn’t Be Worth the Salt i Am…

        Hehe Mr Gottfried

        There is Always the
        Possibility of Creating
        Perfect ‘Test Tube Babies’ too

        Who ‘Can’t Find THeir Way out of a Paper Bag’

        It is ‘THE MisTakes’ of Nature That Make Life Possible at all…

        Oh the Diversity
        of an Imperfect
        God of Nature so
        Real and Forgiving
        As We aRe ALL Equal in Birth and Death

        The iNBetween We Create Together From Hell to
        Heaven Real too and True…

        Sadly Some Folks Have
        A Lust For the

        End of the

        World As ‘We’
        Know it FeeL iT
        And Sense it Now

        Obviously they
        Are Lost From Heaven New Now

        Such A ‘Rapture’ They Create in Oblivion Now

  4. love is 98% of everything you said .. I don’t know how long it takes for the right one to come along, cos they say “when the right one comes, you will just know it”. With the hunger around the world now, it takes grace to find the right one, if you know what I mean.🙂
