Ability to feel depth of LOVE.........
Permalink  
 

Bit of a philisophical one this..........

Are some of us more capable of a deeper love than others?

Woud you say for instance that Bob is capable of love more than, say, most people?

I mean judging by his actions it would appear that Bob does have more love for a complete bunch of strangers thousands of miles away in another country than most.  (or would you call this compassion and is this different from love?).

Or is this my perception because of the style and way in which Bob has gone about raising awareness of these issues in that he is a front man and therefore gets noticed in a big way, this is just his style i guess.  What I mean is perhaps there are plenty doing just as much but in a smaller way but that put just as much time and effort, if not more, into these causes.

So sure theres plenty working for these good causes.........but few have done as much in terms of raising funds for starving, bereaved, diseased and dying people as Bob.....or have they?  I dunno.

So, what makes someone do this kind of thing?  Is it that some have bigger hearts?

Is it that some have more love inside of them to give?

And how is this?

What makes a person like Bob love so much?

Or shall we discuss whether its compassion or love and/or whether theres a difference?

:)

Maybe more of a psychological one...

I don't know whether Bob loves/feels compassion more than 'most', but a combination of those traits and his personality/natural leadership and position of fame have allowed him to do all the things he has done.

For someone to become who they are is probably a mixture of their personality, family background, social background and life experiences.    They are all contributory factors.  If you think about Bob's family, where he was brought up, losing his mother so young etc and throw in his personality this is what you get!

Compassion and love, I'd say are different but interlinked.

Hmm yep his celebrity status certainly has put him in a better position than most to be able to get causes a lot of attention - to say the least.

However there are plenty of famous people out there and they don't all go about creating massive waves and noise about causes to fullest potential. Wonder why not.

It makes other clebrities look pretty pathetic i think.

Having said that maybe I should be thinking what an amazing man rather than how rubbish all the rest are LOL.

I just think how selfish our society is really, how shallow how superficial it all is. To me Bob is someone that looked real compared to all the rest, he seemed human, he actually talked sense rather than the load of bollox the rest talk about on tv. I can't bare to watch it quite frankly. Piffle coming out their gobs the whole time. How sad people that watch the drivel are quite frankly.
