Love your work... but don't get married w/ it..


There are different kinds of love...
The love that God has for you is called AGAPE.
The love that you have for your friend is called PLATONIC.
The love that you have for your GF/BF/WIFE/HUSBAND is called EROS.
There are other kinds still, but as far as you can see, these three are all different from one another - God does not love you like you love a friend, or how you love your wife ... and you cannot confuse them w/ one another too...
But one thing is for sure - LOVE SHOULD ONLY BE DEVOTED TO PEOPLE...
The moment you attach love to an inanimate object or something abstract, you should reconsider...
"Loving your work" is almost a statement that is so wrong - you like your work, you don't love it... again, love is only for PEOPLE...
But granting that this statement is tolerable and just something RHETORIC, to exaggerate this some more like "I love my work like I love my GF" or "I'm married with my work" is already something FREAKY... almost GRUESOME...
Imagine loving your work like you love your GF/BF/wife/husband... It's really difficult... There's a BIG DIFFERENCE... Don't tell me that your love for your work is something like EROS?
Don't confuse LOVE w/ your fondness, dedication, passion, commitment, and contentment towards work... They are NEVER synonymous...
Love your work, but not like your GF/BF... and ultimately, GET MARRIED WITH A PERSON instead..
