FINALLY! Ever since I started this blog, I have always wanted to write about this topic but I never could get myself to do so because it can't be put down in words. It is a vast concept, varies according to individual perception and can be questioned from time to time. Why still do I feel the need to appreciate this emotion? That is because despite all it's variations and controversies, love universally makes people feel good. Admit it, who doesn't like to be loved? And make no mistake, love doesn't imply romance and whatever addons it has. Love, here simply means the unconditional feeling of affection and care. Right from the time we're born, most of us are fortunate enough to feel love. So we know something is missing when love is absent.
A mother's warm bosom, a father's tearful smile. Doesn't all of it imply love? We're probably too young to realise it then. So as we grow up, we tend to learn about love from whatever we see and hear around us. Some us have siblings, pets, friends, boy/girlfriend(s), etc. and for each category our love differs. We aren't taught that, as I said, we learn from what's around. Tell me one time you actually attended a lecture to make friends; you didn't. When a person unknowingly shows you love (interpret as care) or is the reason for your happiness you automatically tend to like the person. In some cases, we form strong interpersonal relationships with these people.
Love also obviously has its downsides. Nothing comes flawless, there's always a catch. While all of the above is said and done, the absence of love is often unwelcome and why wouldn't it be? Who doesn't want to be happy? Even sadists derive pleasure from misery. I know I don't make sense when I say this, but I strongly find the antonym of love weird. Hate. Hate isn't what isn't love. When you don't feel loved enough you feel empty at first. The emptiness culminates into hatred. Not that this is relevant, just putting it out there.
Whoever says love isn't a one way thing, they're sore selfish losers. Like I said before, unconditional caring is what qualifies. Expecting something out of love is a sin in itself. Life isn't a bed of roses, so ofcourse your love can be misunderstood or misinterpreted but the key is to stay by your moral code, know your limits and spread love.
We all go through cataclysmic events in our life which changes our perspective about love. Ironically, we sometimes hate love for all the emptiness it causes in its absence. What we forget is that love isn't external, true loves comes from within. Love yourself no matter what. The rest pans out accordingly. If you let the emptiness take over, it will grow into hatred and that spreads faster than love because that's how bad things are.
Love is fragile, Love is strong
Love isn't bought, it comes along.
Those seeking love
Shouldn't be disappointed
If they never get anyone else's,
For, the best form of love
That exists was right within
Your ownself.
