How Far Should A Person Go In The Name of Love?

“When you find you,
come back to me”
Lately, it seemed I
didn’t know a lot of things. There were people who claim they have all the
answers, or at least the answers to the big questions, but I had never believed
them. There was something about the assurance with which they spoke or wrote that
seemed self-justifying. But if there was one person who could answer any
question, my question would be; How far
should a person go in the name of love?
I could pose the
question to a hundred people and get a hundred different answers. Most were
obvious: A person should sacrifice, or accept or forgive or even fight if
needed be… the list went on and on. Still, even though I knew all the answers
were valid, none would help me now. Some things were beyond understanding.
Thinking back, I recall events which I wish I could change, tears I wish were
never shed, time that could have been better spent, and frustrations I should
have shrugged off. Life it seems was full of regret, and I yearn to turn back
the clock so I could live parts of my life over and over again. One thing was
certain: I should have been a better friend. As I consider the question of how
far a person should go in the name of love, I know what my answer would be.
Sometimes it means that a person should lie.
