Love. What is love? As we all know, love is a really broad topic which could be debated by anyone, anytime. No matter how we define what love is, we will only have countless discussions and limitless debates about it. Actually, no one could really justify the real meaning of love but instead one could just define love as the way they see or feel it.
Love is defined in the dictionary as a strong affection or attraction for another arising out of kinship or personal ties. But is love really based mainly on attraction or affection for another person? Shouldn't it also be based upon the way you feel it or see it?
For me, love is everything and everywhere. The trees, flowers, the sky, the sun, the people, animals and basically everything we see. Those things were made because of love. If not for love, I guess not even a single cell on this world will exist. Not you, nor me will be able to stay on earth and be able to live the way we want it to be. God started it all. He was the one who first spread and showed love to the world. If not for his love, earth will not be as lively, as colorful and as vibrant as it is right now. So inorder to thank him for the love he has been giving us, we should also be responsible enough to take care of the things he has been giving us. If not for Him, will we be able to live? I guess not.I believe in what people say that "Love is God and God is Love."
They say love can move mountains. Yes, I believe that. Love can move mountains though not literally. Love can change anyone. One can be changed because of the one he or she loves or one can be changed by the love the person he or she loves gives him or to her.
I hear many people say that love has changed them in many ways. Some say that because of love they were able to live a blissful life. Some say that because of love they were able to find the real meaning of life and even found the one whom they truly love. But despite these happy recollections, some would still say that love made their lives really miserable. But in what ways does love make some lives miserable?
Personally, I have already experienced how to love and be loved. To love and be loved feels good especially when you know that the one you love also feels the same as you are. But consequently when you love, you should also be ready to get hurt. Sometimes in love you should always be ready to face the pain and always expect the unexpected. Its when you expect that you get hurt. For example, your expecting that somehow the one you love will also love you the way you wanted to be loved by that person. But instead of getting the love you think you deserve, the one you love doesn't love you back and thus love another person.
Ofcourse, who wouldn't be hurt by that? All along you have been expecting that there is a possibility for the both of you to be together but then that dream just came crushing down when you realized that the one you love loves somebody else and sad to say it's not you. You would then think of stupid reasons why everything happened just like that. You even cry every night to at least release the pain. But then you'll soon realize that you're already having a hard time getting over a person, especially the one you love.
Based from my personal experience, forgetting and getting over a person is not that easy. it would really take time. As people say, time could heal the wounds of the past and I really do agree with that. One might get over a person in a minute, in a minute or worst, years. Sometimes you just have to let time pass and just try to forget everythingto avoid being hurt. But sad to say, even how hard you try to get over a person, you still feel the pain; you still feel hurt. Sometimes you tend to move away, ignore or don't even talk to the person just to tellyourself that you'll be able to hide the pain and get over the person. But deep inside you, you'll just realize that your love for that person never subsides but instead it grows more. You even cry yourself to sleep sometimes trying to reminisce the past and trying to get over the person completely. But the more you ignore the person, the more it gets hurt and the more it becomes harder to move on.
Young as I am, I can say that I already say that I have already experience some lessons in love and these are as follows:
- Never love a person more than yourself
- Learn to control your emotions.
- Do not give your all. Give yourself some worth.
- Don't love a person one sidedly. (This really hurts!)
- Tell the person you love what you truly feel.
- Try to let go and move on.
- Don't be a martyr.
- Do not expect too much.
- Love the person according to the kind of love he deserves.
The tenth is that in love you should always know that there are NO RULES. You may follow a certain list but eventually that will just simply fade away. You'll just realize that when you love a person you learn to love everything about him- even the negative traits.
Now tell me Mr. Webster, could you really define love? How about true love?
