Received this from clar. I agreed with this..
But while presents are important, love demands what is basic: 'presence of the beloved'.Love is fundamentally a commitment to a person.
We may be committed to our business, job, hobby, sports and clubs.
But strictly speaking, they cannot love us back.
Only a person can love us in return, and for that matter,
the highest commitment as human beings, is spending time with those persons we love.And since people need affection and nourishment, material things can only help up to a certain degree in fostering love.
But it can never replace the greatest gift of presence becuz everyone needs someone -
be it friends, parents, siblings or simply that 'special' one.Being there for someone need not necessary mean having to say alot.Words are sometimes redundant.Remember that 'presence' (to be there for someone) is more than enough."What Is Most Valuable Is Not What You Have In Your Life, But Who You Have In Your Life"In our pursuits, let's not neglect spending quality time with the most important Person of our lives.
#so anyone want to spent time with me?? haha..
