The Return on Investment of Love.
July 17, 2010 | 37 Comments
Yesterday, I went to one of my favorite NYC restaurants with an old friend. Over dinner, we touched on the laws of giving and receiving – and most notably, that you can only give what you’ve got.
Let’s say that I want to give you $100 so you can finally buy the Brent Corrigan autographed fleshlight for which you’ve been saving. But if I only have $20 bucks, how could I possibly give you $100? Having at least $100 in the first place is a requirement for giving it out.
In the same way, we can only give the energy that we ourselves have. You can only give love to the world if it’s love that you have inside of you. You gotta have love to give love.
Let’s say I do have $100. And I give it to you. In the real world, I’m now $100 poorer. But love doesn’t work like that; it’s much more mysterious. If I give you a gift of my love, I get even more in return. It would be like giving you $100 only to find $500 in my sock drawer. The more love you give, the more you get.
Even in this economy, love is an investment only with upward potential.
And that, my friend, is a beautiful freaking thing.

Wow. I’ve been having the almost same conversation recently with my friends. BUt it’s true. You can’t give what you don’t have. We all just have to learn how to compromise and accept things that we can’t get.
*sigh* –
Sigh. At this point I just don’t know anymore.
yep your right …..love is awesome
and so do you 
Now, imagine our world without money. Relating today’s post to yesterday’s topic of baggage, how greatly would our stress level be reduced in the absence of the economic downturn?
The chain which limits our ability to love is our readiness to accept de facto this financial doom. This leads to fear, greed, judgment and hate instead of a cultivation of compassion.
As Davey wrote yesterday, “How freeing would it be to release it all?” Then our love could grow and ultimately our potential to give and receive love would increase.
Kevin go ahead, imagine a world without money. Choose any special skill or talent that we as humans are known for.. as individuals. Let’s make it simple.. You are a chicken farmer.. You need chicken feed, furniture and a tractor. Having money means you don’t have to carry around a bunch of dead chickens in your back pocket in order to acquire the things you need or want. It really is nothing more than that.. a tool that enables you to carry the value of those chickens in a convenient form.. money.. simply to use for trade.. for what you need or just would like to have.. rather than carrying the actual chickens.. Ever been around a bunch of dead Chickens? Trust me, you do not want to carry them in your back pocket..
As for Greed: If you have more than water and bread.. YOU are greedy. No one can or should define Greed.. it’s impossible. Some government bureaucrat should never define it and certainly not you.
The true evil in this world is not Greed..
it is Envy.
And those that are the most Envious are always those that would take what they want by force.. from those they always accuse of being Greedy. The funny thing is that the use of Brute Force to go after the so called Greedy.. is never considered evil by the Envious..
Go figure..
To them, and apparently to you, it is Evil for free men to mutually agree to trading chickens for chicken feed.. if money is used.. rather than the actual chickens..
Nothing like Clarity is there?
Ayn Rand was right on target when she said “Run as if your life depended on it.. from those that tell you your money.. is the root of all evil”..
and she further warned:
“Until and unless you discover that money is the root of ALL GOOD, you ask for your own destruction. When money ceases to become the means by which men deal with one another, then men become the tools of other men. Blood, whips and guns–or dollars. Take your choice–there is no other.
–Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
If I’m wrong.. you can prove I’m wrong, by sending me all of your evil money.. I will sacrifice myself to your argument at that point.. publicly admit my error.. and laugh all the way to the bank..
Kevin please don’t suffer a minute longer with that Evil Presence in your wallet.. Make it easy on yourself. Send it to me.. Send ALL of it.. come on Kevin, I’m only trying to help.
Show me the money.
And for the record.. the “Economic Downturn” was and always will be caused by the power seeking insatiably ENVIOUS politicians that thru their laws and deception.. take from us our value and our wealth, leaving us empty handed.. while telling us we should be glad to be separated from our money.. After all, ” Money is the root of all evil.” Right?
Know this:
All Freedom begins with Economic Freedom.
ALLOWING people to keep what they Own.. and what they earn, produce, create, grow, build, invent, imagine or even write about.. RATHER than forcibly taking those things.. because of whatever emotion based bumper sticker mentality.. is currently in vogue.
Is what will always encourage Economic Freedom and thus Economic Upturn(s)..
Jack, why are you so angry and hateful–especially here?
You have missed my point. I did not write, “Imagine a free market where chickens replace money.” Rather, *I* would prefer low-stress, communal living as experienced at a Radical Faeries sanctuary or encampment. You can have all the money I have, but indeed, I don’t have any to give.
Then how can I even afford to be online writing this? When you can answer that question, then you will begin to experience the world as I do.
XOXO, Kevin
absolutely correct, and if you sell the video using the fleshlight…
And you, my friend, are a beautiful, freaking thing!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE
Davey, you must be a billionaire with all the love you have, the love you give and the love you get. Given the wisdom and insight you possess, are you sure you’re not 100 years old? You must have a very, VERY old soul.
Who in the hell is Brent Corrigan? Since you talking about fleshlights, I am guess he is a twinkie porn star? good post by the way
Yes, he’s a porn star (also known as
Sean Lockhart). He’s quite a cutie and I sure as hell wouldn’t kick him out of bed for eating crackers in there.
Oh okay I don’t watch porn thought maybe he was thanks Michael
You are so right Davey…you can’t give what you don’t have….. You give so much love.
Thank you !!!!!!!!
That is so the truth! i am a firm beliver of the more love that one give the more he recieves! anywho thankyou and i love you all have a lovely day!! @theuniverse
Davey you are awesome. I’m feeling sick today but this and yesterdays posts made me smile a lot…I’m sending you lots of love right now, you are a really great guy.
Love is something that shouldnt be save for yourselve or a small gruop of people you care, but to share with everyone, everyone even someone you dont know, dont save your love only to your boyfriend, family and friend but share it with strangers too *smile*
True story! Love is like watering a garden. It makes beautiful things grow. And in the end, the beauty that spreading love creates is more amazing than the feeling of holding that love inside.
I submit that everyone has a vast ocean of love as a resource to give out all the time. The problem is, that we build up barriers which make it seem like we don’t have love, or only a little trickles through the cracks. Our true and natural state is a state of love, therefore, given the opportunities, it flows naturally to us and through us. If you’ve hidden behind solid barriers for a very long time, what I’ve just written will seem like a bunch of bull shit, and from your perspective, that may be true for you. If you open up just a tiny bit, gradually allowing the barriers to crumble, with perserverance, you will be swimming in the ocean of bliss. Not only will you benifit, but everyone in your world experience will benifit as well.
True, true, true!
I LOVE YOU DAVEY WAVEY <3 <3 <3 <3
that’s pretty ridiculous. you’re only saying that because you have love. ive been without love and as spiritual as i am, i know that sometimes you have no love to give. that can happen when you’re abused and isolated for long periods of time, which i was. i know that you’re speaking from your heart, but i honestly don’t think you understand the dark side of love. i understand it because i’ve lived it.
As did I, Alex, and it’s easy for me to react in a similar manner. However, though you may not see it yet, Davey is correct. I will always struggle with the abuse of my past, but more and more I choose not to submit to the mindset that I have no love to give. Slowly and cautiously, I am learning to love and finally seeing how much love I simply overlooked due to my misery and mechanisms of self-defense. You are loved, and I love you, too!
A lot of the lack of love experiencing is caused by not being present in the here now moment, that is to say, applying focus and attention to something or someone that is not in your current moment experience. What that does, is robs you of the joy of this moment, and also prevents you from choosing to feel better right now. If we are mentally, and emotionally tied to some time that is not now, we miss the treasures this moment holds for us. In Presence, in this moment, whether you experience it or not, peace, love, prosperity are available to us. It is our responsibility to choose wisely in this moment to moment unfolding we call life.
What was, is gone, what will be is yet to unfold, Now is the Present we give to ourselves, to unwrap and find what is held within it.
Best regards,
Jerry
Howdy Davey, I have had all three stages of abuse since age 5 that I can remember/ and care not to… I will say that letting go of all the hurt and shame is the hardest thing I have ever done, however I find myself reminded of the abuse every day… I just wanted to tell you Thank You~ Your charm and knowledge has positively touched my life, far greater than you know… I hope to find a great guy like yourself one day,to grow old with and share my life… Be You, Sincerely, William
Good post.

hmmm……an interesting thing to ponder over for an hour. Thanx
oh and good analogy, i like it.
I agree
but how did you know that’s exactly what I wanted 
Yes, it is good to know that there is more to investiment in love than just a reliably steady fuck wherever you want that!
What does it say about me that all I took from this post was “Brett Corrigan Fleshlight”?
Hi Dave,
I was intrigued by the headline.
I been in love, i have been out of love. I was in a 10 years relationship, and one day, he packed all his clothes and left. I remembered that day, the emptiness, just clothes-hangers laying on the floor.
So, i can say there is no investment in love. Its a risk you take. A risk of hoping something wonderful might happen. If yes, its a bonus. And if things fall apart, you are left picking the pieces yourself, alone.
You can give love, but in life there is no guarantee that you will receive. This is reality!
C
I know love begets love. This is reality of life.
Hey Davey,
For me the difference is that love is an action spiritual as it may be it’s something I do not something I make or take… it’s like what some would call karma one of those things that you give without expectation of something in return and that is how we receive love I think… when we show real and genuine love we automatically have love without any action of actively loving ourselves… it’s one of those things that to have love we must give love… the way we are filled with love is by filling others with love!

Hey Davey,
The energy thing though is a choice not something we build I think… personally I will myself full of energy it’s not something I make exceptions for energy a extreme high level of energy is an unconditional 24/7/365 requirement and I allow myself nothing less.
Kenneth R. Livingston
The light of the sun is an effect of the sun in being. The sun doesn’t have to try to radiate light because the light it radiates is natural to it’s being. So too, love is an effect of our being when we are true to our being, it naturally radiates from us. When we are immersed within this radience, we are at home and no effort is necessary to express our love because that expression is a natural expression of our being.
Love given is love received. If we are shown beauty then that is what we will seek. If we only know darkness then then that is all we will be. So give love and compassion. Let’s all live a beautiful life.
