Armor is protective clothing designed to absorb or deflect physical attacks. Historically armor was used to protect military personnel, today it is also used by various types of police, private security guards or bodyguards, and sometimes civilians. Many factors have influenced the development of personal armor throughout human history. Important factors in the development of armor included economic and technological needs in the manufacture of armor. Full-plate armor, for example, first appeared in medieval Europe when water-powered cruise hammers made handling the sheet metal faster and cheaper. Sometimes the development of armor has run parallel to the development of increasingly effective weapons on the battlefield, with people wearing armor looking to provide better protection without sacrificing mobility.
Many of us are wearing armor because we are all afraid of getting hurt. If someone knows us too well, they can hurt us. So we must have something to cover. But the more we shield, the more love leaves because it cannot touch us.
Many people see love as an investment of time and effort, I cannot agree with that view. If it is an investment, everyone wants to make a profit. What do you want to benefit from someone you love? Haven't you noticed that you've received a lot since love first appeared in your soul? You become more in love with life, your heart becomes throbbing, your eyes see life in bright colors. From someone who loves only himself, you can double that love for another person. Do you not know how many people in this world are unhappy because they do not know what true love is all their life? So if you truly love, thank the person who made you fall in love. Life will forever be a barren land without love, and your soul will be dry until that person shows up. Isn't that much enough for you to feel like you're getting too much? What more do you want? If you want to receive more than you give, then your love is not big enough. True lovers want to give more, because they are happy and want to make the other person happy.
In love, the most important thing is to be yourself. To do so, you must take off your armor. How can he touch your heart if you keep on blocking it?
I know many people trying to be a different person, to be loved. They were told that if they wanted to be loved, they had to be like this and that. If you're a nice, lovable and sweet guy, and she loves you for it, then she'd go crazy if you turn into a bad boy, some playboy, because someone has injected you in the head that the more naughty a boy is, the more a girl loves. Don't be silly like that. What is contrary to nature cannot last for long.
There is no common denominator for love. There will be people in this world who love who you are and others who won't, but don't make those who love you give up because you're trying to be someone else. To be truly loved, you need to be yourself.
But most of us seek the opposite advice from the outside, because we don't believe that we are loved. Huh? What? Is he / she in love with me? Probably because he / she doesn't know my bad personality yet. I have to do something! Someone please give me advice! Do you think so, and try to mold yourself into a certain pattern? Relax. Nobody in this world is perfect, and love does not demand perfection from you either. Love is perfection, support, and wings. Believe that you are loved because you are yourself. And gently, let love lift you up. You don't have to be a perfect person to be loved, but believe that love will make you perfect.

7. “Oversharing? Not vulnerability; I call it floodlighting.... A lot of times we share too much information as a way to protect us from vulnerability, and here's why. I'm scared to let you know that I just wrote this article and I'm under total fire for it and people are making fun of me and I'm feeling hurt -- the same thing that I told someone in an intimate conversation. So what I do is I floodlight you with it - I don't know you very well or I'm in front of a big group, or it's a story that I haven't processed enough to be sharing with other people - and you immediately respond " hands up; push me away" and I go, " See? No one cares about me. No one gives a s*** that I'm hurting. I knew it." It's how we protect ourselves from vulnerability. We just engage in a behavior that confirms our fear.” - Brené Brown

And he understood for the first time the earnestness with which May, who was incapable of tying a ribbon in her hair to charm him, had gone through the solemn rite of selecting and ordering her extensive wardrobe.” - Edith Wharton
24. “The Addams dwelling at 25 West Fifty-fourth Street was directly behind the Museum of Modern Art, at the top of the building. It was reached by an ancient elevator, which rumbled up to the twelfth floor. From there, one climbed through a red-painted stairwell where a real mounted crossbow hovered. The Addams door was marked by a " big black number 13," and a knocker in the shape of a vampire....Inside, one entered a little kingdom that fulfilled every fantasy one might have entertained about its inhabitant. On a pedestal in the corner of the bookcase stood a rare " Maximilian" suit of armor, which Addams had bought at a good price (" a bargain at $700" )... It was joined by a half-suit, a North Italian Morion of " Spanish" form, circa 1570-80, and a collection of warrior helmets, perched on long stalks like decapitated heads... There were enough arms and armaments to defend the Addams fortress against the most persistent invader: wheel-lock guns; an Italian prod; two maces; three swords. Above a sofa bed, a spectacular array of medieval crossbows rose like birds in flight. " Don't worry, they've only fallen down once," Addams once told an overnight guest. ...Everywhere one looked in the apartment, something caught the eye. A rare papier-mache and polychrome anatomical study figure, nineteenth century, with removable organs and body parts captioned in French, protected by a glass bell. (" It's not exactly another human heart beating in the house, but it's close enough." said Addams.) A set of engraved aquatint plates from an antique book on armor. A lamp in the shape of a miniature suit of armor, topped by a black shade. There were various snakes; biopsy scissors (" It reaches inside, and nips a little piece of flesh," explained Addams); and a shiny human thighbone - a Christmas present from one wife. There was a sewing basket fashioned from an armadillo, a gift from another.In front of the couch stood a most unusual coffee table - " a drying out table," the man at the wonderfully named antiques shop, the Gettysburg Sutler, had called it. (" What was dried on it?" a reporter had asked. " Bodies," said Addams.)...” - Linda H. Davis

Love is not an investment. Don't make it mean. Love is an award. Are you afraid of being hurt, betrayed? A rich person or a poor person, beautiful or ugly, educated or uneducated, boss or servant, character of one way or another, are equally capable of being hurt and betrayed. That is the story of the future, no one knows. Why worry about what hasn't happened, and then put on your defensive armor?
If you go on defending forever with that armor, how can love enter? Because love is soft like water, cool like the wind. Do you think love is an arrow? Will it stab through your armor? Okay, but you will be in pain. Why not do a gentler thing than take your shirt off, let love touch your every cell? Relax and relax, enjoy the happiness of giving, and give more, indulge in love, live in love, and constantly thank love, let the stream of love water your soul, and then you will feel it see how much this life blesses you.
