The Daily Word for January 25, 2021

ephemeral - adjective- brief, tentative, not long-lasting

Everything in this life is fragile, ephemeral, especially romantic love. Think of a red balloon. With sufficient oxygen, it begins large but evanesces over time. Often love is like that. If you don’t make the effort to keep the air in the balloon, it will lose its magnitude. Two have to share the balloon and contribute the breaths to maintain its breadth. Some see the balloon losing air and replace it with two separate balloons. Therein lies the problem. Selfishness outweighs selflessness. To perpetuate romantic love, two must contribute equally. 

As this is supposed to be an inspirational column, the thought I wish to leave you with is positive in nature. Since life and love can be ephemeral, we have to work unselfishly together to keep it buoyant, full of oxygen. (Hmm, buoyant may be a good word for tomorrow!)
