causality of
affection
cause and effect. those two concepts tend to keep the world going around and have been doing so since the dawn of time. causality is the relation between a cause (a reason for an action or current condition) and its effect or regularly correlated events or phenomena. an effect is something that inevitably follows the cause. affectionate means having affection or warm regard. but what causes affection? what is the reason behind the love that we are feeling? could it be an inescapable, inevitable feeling that cupid shoots into our hearts regardless of whether we want the feeling or not? could it be that mysterious ?chemistry? that only happens when the right person comes along? do you believe that god has preordained the perfect mate for each of us? god is the god of love. could the affection that we feel for those close in our lives come straight through us from him? it?s february, and if you?re like me, cute cherubs, candy hearts, roses, boxes of chocolates, and valentine
cards come to mind. for children in school, it?s the excitement of giving and receiving frozen , star wars , and pokémon valentine cards. however, the reason behind the giving is what means the most. valentine?s day
is a day where people use these items to show affection, kindness, and love. and that is what we all need in our lives. as valentine?s day nears, i encourage all of you to examine why you feel the way you do. giving someone you love a box of chocolate might mean nothing if it?s just because you?re supposed to. the causality, the relationship between the cause and effect, is what we live every day in order for us to be well adjusted; we need to have a good bit of balance going on in our lives. there are many questions listed above. at some time in your life, these types of questions need to be answered. only when you have these answers will you begin to be comfortable with yourself and live in the causality of affection and finally be at peace. relations with others sculpt how we live our lives. it?s what keeps me going, a reason to exist. happy valentine?s day, stay connected enter to win free goodies and be the first to know what's going on around town at brparents.com the weekender receive the latest news and trends right in your inbox. subscribe at brparents.com facebook facebook.com/ batonrougeparents talk to me amy@brparents.com brpm app download our free app at google play or in the apple app store amy foreman-plaisance publisher/editor in chief in every issue / a m o t h e r ? s v o i c e 12 brparents.com | february 2017
