This was going to be a face book blurb but it got to long so I am storing it here for now.
My thoughts on Love, God and Abraham Maslow!!! 
So i read a thread that bothered me a little while back about why would God love lowly old me… or something to that effect. I often thing that when this comes up we need to redefine what love means and the types of love there are.
My favorite Psychologist so far is Abraham Maslow! Her is what he has to say about this topic.
——
Maslow compared D-love (deficiency love) to B-love (love for being or essence of another person). Self-actualizing people are capable of B-love; that is, they have the ability to love without expecting something in return. B-love is mutually felt and shared and not based on deficiencies within the lovers.
——
Basically how i read this is that there are to motivating factors in regards to love. The first D-Love or DEFICIENT is that the individual has a lacking of love within themselves and so they seek out love from others to supplement what they have. This is a taking kind of love.
The second form B-Love is BEING love. Not to be confused with being in love :). In this form the individual is so full of love he or she can give it away freely to others. It is an abundance of love.
In my opinion Gods love is B-Love… God neither needs or wants my love because he has plenty. God places no conditions on his or her love because he is not giving it to illicite something in return. The most important part of that statement is that God doesn’t NEED my love… but other people may because they are caught in D-Love… So instead of me wasting my time sending my love to God I should be sending it to other people…
If you get some time check out Maslow he pretty much started the movement of spirituality in Psychology.
