There is something about the "ideal" clergyman that I personally don't understand. All the priests of the world are celibate, unmarried men who are following, per se, the divine prophet "Jesus," who, is thought, to not have had a wife or children. There is no way man can become united with God, without love. Love is the first step, love for oneself, for others around, and for everyone. Passion of the inner beings, being able to look past human err and understand the fundamental essence of each and every being that we are surrounded by is the first step towards reaching God. So, why do these clergymen, those who represent the elite of the religious, deprive themselves of one of the basic, although most profound, realities of life: love. It makes no sense to me whatsoever. Some people claim that loving others is a fault. This is a common misconception, it is not love, but lust. There is a massive difference between the two, but once again, the English language has managed to divulge the two into somewhat of a similar meaning. Love is appreciating a person for who they are, knowing that they are perfect in every way, knowing that they will always be there, not just because they are attractive. This is the same love that we must devote to the Lord, and by neglecting it, there is no way we can fully appreciate His radiance. Never underestimate the power of love, it will set us all free.
