Love everything, and love nothing at all.

No, it's not a crime to love so many things; and no, it's not a crime to be deeply obsessed with more than one thing or person at the same time. No, you don't lose anything by loving; and no, you don't love something any less because you love so many things.

But keep in mind, my pals... there's always gotta be that something you'll always be loving above all others.

So many people are declaring that they 'Love' something, but I dare these people to stop declaring and for once, shut up and think. Let's look into our hearts, and know ourselves. We must read ourselves, and read our feelings. Once we have understood ourselves, then we can finally say, with much pride and passion, that we Love something.

Love doesn't come around so often, that we can go about declaring we love this and we love that. It takes root in the very cores of our beings, the fibers of our existence, and it spreads out to our whole soul, then resonates out to each and every people we meet. Love is something so pure and so deeply rooted, that once we Love something- and I mean Love in its truest sense- we would never be able to let go.

We Love, and we fight for what we Love.

But how can we love, when we don't even know what we /really/ want? How can we love, when we don't even know the difference between love and like? How can we truly love, when we don't even know who and what it is that we love?

One cannot serve two masters at the same time.

When you Love something, then you devote your everything to it. And you cannot devote your everything to two conflicting Masters at the same time.

Let's make life easier, and take me, for example. No, I'm not branding myself as the paragon of Love and Loyalty, and I'm sure as hell that I don't know everything about love. I'm young, and I'm still learning as I live through my life, but still.. here's my little example.

You guys know that I'm so deeply in love with SenRuSen, so there's no need to elaborate on that anymore. I've turned into this goofball of mush and undying sap, all because SenRuSen, in more ways than one, has helped me to live.

But still... I have to share with you guys, that I love Weiß Kreuz so very much. It has changed me as much as SenRuSen has changed me. It helped me to live. Helped me to see beyond what is Black and White. Weiss .. the anime itself... its characters, its philosophies, Weiss in itself...

It has become my life.

I've been a fan of it for seven or eight years now, as opposed to my being a fan of SenRuSen for over three years- maybe four. You can only imagine the things I know about Weiss. I know each and every character inside out, and the philosophy of the anime/series/manga itself has been deeply rooted within my person.

Weiss... has become my way of life.

So does that make me any less of a SenRuSen or a Slam Dunk Fan?

Hell, no!

Do you guys see me butchering people who dare mock Weiss and my ehm, revered Weiss pairing, RanKenRan? Do you see me building sites for it, or joining ML's and stuff like that? Do you guys see me writing for that series with as much love and care as I write for my beloved SenRuSen? Do you see me in an pro-Weiss Alliance?

No.

Because my Love for Weiss Kreuz... and my Love for SenRuSen are two very different things. The former is fire- I burn with the breath of Weiss. It is a maelstrom of emotions, of philosophies, and of humanity. But the latter... SenRuSen... is water. Calm, yet wild during Nature's wild dance. Soothing, yet turbulent at the same time. Comforting... lulling me... beckoning me to delve in its wonders.

Water has always been my home.

And SenRuSen for me... is like water.

See the difference?

You cannot love two things in the same degree. You cannot love two things in the same way. You cannot give the same equal amount of devotion to many things at the same time.

Sometime in your life, you would find yourselves making a difficult choice.

And it has to be only one.

Now, what about the people in between? Well, I've only got one thing to say to them.

I don't like those people. People who stand for nothing at all are worse than people who stand for the wrong thing.

Go fig.

Like, on the other hand, is another thing. We are humans, ergo, we are inclined to that which is beautiful.We are inclined towards that which sparks something in us. It's not a crime to like many things simultaneosly.

But Love?

It takes time to love something or somebody.

It is not something given so recklessly... so foolishly.

It comes to those who are willing, and once you accept it-

it is Heaven.
