For example, we are willing to send that person home even though it is not on our way. Hear out a friend even though it is the most slightest problem have ever occured on Earth. Or even pay for that person even though he/she brought enough money to spend on both of you. A lot are couples who are willing to stay up late just to hear what the other half have to say although he/she are ridiculously sleepy. I know these are not the most crucial examples but you get what I mean, hopefully.
But when it comes to sensitive issues, let's say, an anger management program. Would anyone out there would get mad or hurt when someone says you need to go for an anger management program. Of course when you do feel that way, you are most certainly needed to go for one. How about religious events? Well.. not quite a religious one but an event that requires you to go to church? Why am I emphasizing on churches? Maybe because churches are the ones that are active in calling out everybody regardless their own religion? Well, sometimes when we enter the church and go through the whole event, we often hear about this person. Certainly you know who am I talking about.
So why bother? I know many of you out there has set up their mind. Regardless what they hear, they won't change. It would be like "Oh... That was touching" and few minutes later, it is as if they never said that sentence before.
Once again, why? Why do we constantly calling our friends especially the close ones to go for such activities? Is it to convert them? Is it the hope, the slightest hope that we can increase our number of members? Maybe. But it's not just because of that. Can anyone see the reason behind this? Why do people try so hard and sometimes don't try at all?
It's love. People love one another. You don't have to be a christian to know what is love. I say this maybe because, love is, different for everyone. Almost each person has their own point of view towards this subject. It is one wide one but yet simple. It depends really because for instance, Guy A might felt love if Girl Z tells him every dirty little secret about her while Guy B feels it when Girl Y constantly feeds him on lust.
Love is the one that gets people going on inviting others for seminar, programmes, religious events. Like I said, not to convert, but to share. To share the joy, experience and the life that they went through. It is because they themselves can be happy with their current lives, they too hope that other lives too can go through the same.
They love you. Just because they share does not mean you have to be in it. The power of decision lies beneath each and everyone of us afterall. Besides, what is love if it is done by force?
