When is Love Alone not Enough?

I grew up hearing two conflicting thoughts on love.
The first idea was that once you love someone you can always work things out. Love is everything. The Bible also tells us that Love will cover a multitude of sin. Hundreds of songs written and performed imploring us that what the world needs is love. But when is it that love alone isn't enough?

The second thought around is that love alone will not keep a relationship together. Love alone won't work. “I thought I love him or her and that it could work out.” That is the aching voice of another heart break. Some persons even said that love will not be able to buy food when you are hungry nor clothe you when you are naked.

Then I ask yet again, when is love alone not enough?

 As I am writing this I believe that the deficiencies are as a result of an unbalanced equation. Perhaps if everyone was aiming to balance it out then love alone would be enough.
If we all held love as our highest goal it perhaps would be enough.

What do you think?

Accused of being a Smiley

Even today, I am known to be a smiling person. I have found that people who smile a lot are some of the most pleasant people in the world.

Another thing is that a smile is contagious; if you don’t believe me, try it yourself. Just smile at someone today and watch their response. I wish for you a day filled with smiles; they may not solve all your problems but they'll certainly help to soothe what ails you.

"Wear a smile- it is cheap but its lasting effect is beyond value"
