What is love? It is one of the
most difficult questions for the mankind. Centuries have passed by,
relationships have bloomed and so has love. But no one can give the proper
definition of love. To some Love is friendship set on fire for others Maybe love
is like luck. You have to go all the way to find it. No matter how you define it
or feel it, love is the eternal truth in the history of mankind.
Love is patient, love is kind. It has no envy, nor it boasts itself and it is
never proud. It rejoices over the evil and is the truth seeker. Love protects;
preserves and hopes for the positive aspect of life. Always stand steadfast in
love, not fall into it. It is like the dream of your matter of affection coming
true. Love can occur between two or more individuals. It bonds them and connects
them in a unified link of trust, intimacy and interdependence. It enhances the
relationship and comforts the soul. Love should be experienced and not just
felt. The depth of love can not be measured. Look at the relationship between a
mother and a child. The mother loves the child unconditionally and it can not be
measured at all. A different dimension can be attained between any relationships
with the magic of love. Love can be created. You just need to focus on the
goodness of the other person. If this can be done easily, then you can also love
easily. And remember we all have some positive aspect in us, no matter how bad
our deeds maybe. And as God said Love all
Depending on context, love can be of different varieties. Romantic love is a
deep, intense and unending. It shared on a very intimate and interpersonal and
sexual relationship. The term Platonic love, familial love and religious love
are also matter of great affection. It is more of desire, preference and
feelings. The meaning of love will change with each different relationship and
depends more on its concept of depth, versatility, and complexity. But at times
the very existence of love is questioned. Some say it is false and meaningless.
It says that it never exist, because there has been many instances of hatred and
brutality in relationships. The history of our world has witnessed many such
events. There has been hatred between brothers, parents and children, sibling
rivalry and spouses have failed each other. Friends have betrayed each other;
the son has killed his parents for the throne, the count is endless. Even the
modern generation is also facing with such dilemmas everyday. But love is not
responsible for that. It is us, the people, who have forgotten the meaning of
love and have undertaken such gruesome apathy.
In the past the study of philosophy and religion has done many speculations on
the phenomenon of love. But love has always ruled, in music, poetry, paintings,
sculptor and literature. Psychology has also done lot of dissection to the
essence of love, just like what biology, anthropology and neuroscience has also
done to it.
Psychology portrays love as a cognitive phenomenon with a social cause. It is
said to have three components in the book of psychology: Intimacy, Commitment,
and Passion. Also, in an ancient proverb love is defined as a high form of
tolerance. And this view has been accepted and advocated by both philosophers
and scholars. Love also includes compatibility. But it is more of journey to the
unknown when the concept of compatibility comes into picture. Maybe the person
whom we see in front of us, may be least compatible than the person who is miles
away. We might talk to each other and portray that we love each other, but
practically we do not end up into any relationship. Also in compatibility, the
key is to think about the long term successful relationship, not a short
journey. We need to understand each other and must always remember that no body
is perfect.
Be together, share your joy and sorrow, understand each other, provide space to
each other, but always be there for each others need. And surely love will
blossom to strengthen your relationship with your matter of affection.
