Love Defined
Love is blind. Love is stupid. Love hurts. Love is all that matters, faithful and forever…
These are the popular answers that fill up the top question in slumbooks.
What is love?
People keep on saying they do not want to love anymore. They are afraid to be hurt again, to be broken-hearted. They do not want to be sad, to be lonely. They do not want to have mixed emotions, to have scars. Among the given reasons, there is a long list of innumerable responses one will comply to the question, “Why don’t you love again?”
That’s all that they know. But they do not know anything about love. They do not understand what love really means.
Love. It is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, things in this world of chaos and uncertainty. It is not love that gives wound or the one that makes misery. Love is pure and clear though these words are synonymous. Love does not bring confusion. Love does not destroy you instead it makes you a better person.
It is ironic that many hate love. If you do not want to love anymore, then you do not really know what love is. It is so unfair that we blame anything to love. We, people, are the ones who stain it, who give love a bad name. love is the music of life, it is a God-given gift. To truly love is to understand it.
What is love?
To perfectly answer the question, I would like to quote Helen Steiner Rice’s poem “The Magic of Love”
Love is like magic
And it always will be.
For love still remains
Life’s sweet mystery!!
Love works in ways
That are wondrous and strange
And there’s nothing in life
That love cannot change!!
Love can transform
The most commonplace
Into beauty and splendor
And sweetness and grace.
Love is unselfish,
Understanding and kind,
For it sees with its heart
And not with its mind!!
Love is the answer
That everyone seeks…
Love is the language,
That every heart speaks.
Love can’t be bought,
It is priceless and free,
Love, like pure magic,
Is life’s sweet mystery!!
Other than this, it is not love you are feeling right now.
