Love?

Everyone of us know what LOVE is? Am I correct?

So what new dimension, am I going to give to it? Everyone of us would have been touched by love at some stage of their life. What I really believe about love and what you believe in love might not be the same. It's a feeling which creates a meaning in various stages of life, if there's a good side then there should be another side of it (which I am not defining as bad). The other side of love will always be repulsive. 

Love is like a fire, it can provide you the warmth if you know how to handle it, else it will rage you. The definition of Love itself changes as the ages pass by.

Baby's love - the purest of the purest. It's an unconditional love and is the precious amongst the loving. There is no definition of baby's love, though unconditional - but it is the protection, the baby is getting from his/her mother for which the baby is responding. Then how we could tell baby's love is pure? A love that is pure should seek nothing, but it's in the giving. Baby seeks love from her/his parent and then reciprocates even without knowing what love is?

Mother's love - it is the bond. Is Mother's love an unconditional one? She shares the love with her baby and is bind between them. So bonded love is almost a blind love on her children. She will be responsible for the well being of the child and for the way her child is brought up? So whether this love is pure, that there is no expectation in her love towards her children? Difficult, isn't it?

Am I for the love or against the love? I don't want to debate it! But I am trying to view love from the other end (the reflexive end).

Father's love - it's authoritative love and is within the limits. The source of this love is based on the inner nature and is expected to be such as protector and mentor's love. Both the protector and mentor cannot be unconditional; they share the code - Rules. So here also the love seeks and gives with expectations... Difficult, isn't it?

Husband's love, Wife's love, Children's love, Brother's love, Sister's love, friend's love, Grandparent's love and you can add all the relational words before love. Everywhere it is?

Then what love really is? Am I getting confused about it? Ha ha ha, we all are confused of it? Isn't it? Love is said to be purest when it is unconditional? Isn't it? That should be, many of us should agree?!

I totally disagree with this; love should be conditional and should never be unconditional. Because anything without condition is not reliable. There should be a binding bond and it requires a lot of understanding to understand what love is?

What we need to understand about Love? It's not complex and yet not simple to define love so as to understand.

1. Love is invariably a mixture of emotions that melts people. If this is the only condition that triggered love, then it's certain that the person would drown in the emotions and would never reach the shore.
2. Love, if it is triggered because as an interest on other. Then this is going to demolish the love as interest is a materialistic fact and would destroy love like raging fire.
3. Love, if it is triggered based on assessment. Then it will be the miserable end of love, as all assessments would vanish in thin air when it comes to practical terms.

LOVE should be a balanced act between Emotion, Interest and assessment. A love which is not balanced between these three properties will certainly fail.  

• Emotions should be solid like EARTH that can withstand the tremors in life.
• Interest should be liquid like WATER that should replenish the life.
• Assessment should be invisible like AIR that will make you alive.

If love is balanced between this, then life will be lovable to live. So choose wise to decide the love. Life is meant to live and make your life to be loved.
