What is Love? Love is work, or a working out, or a manifesting of benevolent intent and action, which is accompanied by a strong sense of care.

Note: The video describes something that happens to both men and women, all to one degree or another, in increasing frequency in our modern society. Differing personality types, life experiences, societal pressures, health issues, etc. will result in different manifestations of what’s covered, or degrees of said manifestation.

If farmland is plowed (especially with fertilizer laid down)… by four, five, ten, fifteen, twenty, or more individual farmers (let alone several toiling around the same time), but none are willing to buy the land (choosing instead to abandon it not long after the tilling begins), there is either something seriously wrong with the land,…

But still I believed in so much fat logic, probably because I was always surrounded by it. I was told from an early age that our family had “fat genes” and that my metabolism was “broken” – which appeared to be corroborated by my own experiences….
