What really is love? Love is an emotion of strong affection and personal attachment.[1] In philosophical context,
love is a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection.[2]
On my solitary moments, I have deliberated
this feeling based on my own experiences and observations appraise with my
critical thinking. I have sensed that whenever I felt this thing we called love
it is always meant to last a lifetime term rather than through eternity for we
mortals only have a lifetime to live – forever is a lie. Immortality is not a
lifetime-paused-by-years-of-being-dead-and-continued-with-another-lifetime merely
it is an infinite longevity.
If you think you’ve found that one you really
love which is meant for a lifetime, let him know what your heart feels for him
and make sure your mind be cognizant of what his reactions might be. For it is
upon your verification of what he really feels for you would either soothes
or inflames the intensity, the
certainty, and the duration of the love you felt for that someone. I do agree
with the lines of a song that goes:
“Love is very patient, very kind
never jealous never envious,
Never boastful nor proud,
Never haughty never selfish,
Never rude O, yes! The greatest is love.”[3]
never jealous never envious,
Never boastful nor proud,
Never haughty never selfish,
Never rude O, yes! The greatest is love.”[3]
So do not be cynical about love, for what
actually hurts us is upon realizing the fact that the love we felt was
unrequited. To keep on loving someone we knew undeserving is not fair to be
called “martyrdom” but rather it best defines the words “stupidity” and
“foolishness.” Thenceforward, instead of feeling bitter and miserable,
acceptance of the consequence by convincing yourself that it is not worth to
shed your tears to someone who doesn’t deserve your pure love will inspire you
to believe that the right one is yet to come. All you have to do by then is be
strong and prepare for the serendipitous moment of two hearts finding each
other.
Based on my personal experiences, love is a
feeling that no one can take it away from us not even the person whom we felt
for it. For love is the psyche of each one of us wherein dwells the intensity
and intricacy of our feelings of happiness in different situations. Love is
assignable, transferable and sharable despite the fact that you can still feel
a tinge of your previous love even if at the same time you have a stronger
feeling towards your new found love. Sometimes a long lost love towards a
particular person will still sparks in the future of being together once again even
if during his long temporal absence you have dozens of spited love affairs.
The seventh heaven brought by love is only attainable
if both lovers certainly complement or reciprocate their love towards each other. It cannot
survive if only one person will work for it. It should be a give-and-take and vice versa
procedure that results to the state of complete bliss and delight and peace. (To be continued...)
