Fourth Law of Love: Reciprocity

You cannot love without benefiting from it yourself. Every act of love brings with it multiplied benefits. Love is like a two-edged sword; it cuts doubly. It is like a boomerang; it comes back at you with the same force. But most importantly, love is like corn seed; you plant one grain, it brings you back multiplied grains in each cob. The world is run by this law. Everything comes in reciprocity: love, and you will be loved. Admire creativity, and you will be creative. Seek to understand, and you will be understood. Listen, and your voice will be heard. Teach, and you will learn. And the list is endless.

People never forget acts of love. Haven’t you wondered why people labour hard to find something good in the deceased? Implicitly, people believe that every good action deserves recognition. This is very true of human nature. Love mates with love. When you love, or do a deed, or say a word, or show a gesture of love, you create multiplied channels of pouring good things into your life. In other words, you open doors for more blessings. Loving others means loving yourself.

Loving others is the best way of investing your life. Do you want to reap profit from your life? The answer is simple: simply find someone who needs to be loved, and love him or her. Society is full of people in need. You don’t need to look far. At every corner you turn, there will be someone desperately in need of your love. The good news is: it rarely takes money to love. A kind word, a calculated gesture, a philanthropic act, and so many other ways, will do.
