“Without love what are you but only a self centered, empty shadow of who you were meant to be?”
Maybe you didn’t mean it that way, but I’m not married but I don’t consider myself “self-centered” or “empty”.
No, not everyone who is single is without love, but the selfish, self centered attitude of many who wish to stay single these days will rob them of knowing true and lasting love. What a horrible waste, and they aren't even aware of it. Love isn't easy, but nothing, no nothing else is like it nor can take it's rightful place in our lives. Not all the independence and ability to feed one's self with all the self centered toys life can offer can begin to offer human hearts what love can.
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned. Song of Solomon 8/7
