There Ought To Be

I'm still stuck on that song from the musical I was listening to. The line that is now in my head is this. "There ought to be a ray of sun that shines on anyone who loves."

There are many things in the world that ought to be and aren't. There ought to be enough food for everyone, there ought to be a home for everyone, there ought to be a loving family for everyone. The reality is that what there ought to be is not what there always is. Everyone ought to be accepted for who they are and not who others want them to be, but that is also not what happens.

For all the things that ought to be and aren't, the one thing that should happen is allowing two people to find happiness with each other. It is hard enough to find someone who can make you happy, who stays in the corners of your mind, who you want to spend the rest of your life with, without the judgement of the world encroaching on the happiness that you have found. It is hard to open your heart to love and care for another person and make them a part of your life. That is not something that the rest of the world should feel they have a say in.

"How can loving ever really be a sin?" The act of loving is something that is a good. It is an unselfish action that opens your life to another. There is nothing bad about it. How is it that such an unselfish action can be so judged by those who don't share the same heart?

There ought to be a ray of sun that shines on anyone who loves. There should be and maybe one day there will be. Until then, it will be the brave who love, those who are willing to share their lives with others and open their hearts. And those who are afraid to love have no right to judge that.
