Giving it up for lent...

Usually people give up what they love for lent...be it soda, chocolate, facebook, etc. If we're giving up things we love then why don't we give up LOVE, or happiness, or joy. How about that? Or are they just things that we love but shouldn't love. Maybe their more things that should be used in moderation? Love could be used in moderation in some cases...but happiness seems to have no moderation. So I'm not sure where I'm going with this. Eh, just a ramble.

    Huh. That's an interesting way to look at it. Never thought of that before. Haha, but I'm pretty sure the goal is to give up worldly loves. But what do I know. I'm not Catholic. Haha

    "Worldly" - Of or concerned with material values or ordinary life rather than a spiritual existence

    According to this definition it's everything aside from spiritual existence but where do you separate spiritual existence from worldly values? I guess for Catholics, it's whatever the Bible says is worldly or not.

    But I think you're right when it comes to giving up "worldly" things. So whatever is worldly according to the Bible.
