Love - An Integral Part of Life

What comes into your mind when you hear the word “LOVE”? Most of us will think about the partner at an instant. But is it this only between two partners, is it not between anyone else?? As per our grandparent’s generation, love is only between partners or we can say lovers. But as per our generation, we take love as a feeling between people.

What this things called as “love” really is?? It is nothing but the feeling generated in our heart for someone, thus helping us to have a strong bond with the person. That person can be a friend, fellow human being, parents, siblings, lovers and many more. This feeling gets very strong with the help of trust, beliefs, and understanding as time passes. Some of you may be thinking, is it stronger then friendship too? The answer would be that both have their own places in a person’s life. Love is there in friendship, but love is not friendship. Same case is all the way round. They are not substitute of each other. They are among the few different pillars of life. For any relation to survive, love is one of the important ingredient.

Many young minds have this thought is it good to love someone or is it not? So, my friend let me clear your view about that. You are already loving someone or something in life. Without love you can’t even spend a day of your life. Even hatred has an essence of love in it. If you take that love is only for lovers, then you are seriously need to change perception. That’s not because I am saying, that’s because you are living much behind the current life scenario or generation. Secondly, it’s because care for parents is also a style of showing love, thinking about betterment of someone is also a type of love, for hating too you need to love the bad things that would happen to the one you hate.. So, love is all around you.

Firstly let’s see the most common form of love, interpreted by everyone in one shot. That’s the LOVER’S Love. When two people fall for each other and start acting like the other best half of each other’s life then they are mostly in love and want to be the partner of each other in this beautiful journey of life. So my question is; Is it always love, if you feel like this for someone? The answer would be no. There is another term, known as infatuation. This is less then love and more like attraction for body, emotions, way of talking or may be some other characteristic. Infatuation is falsely interpreted as love, usually among youngsters. Real lovers, of the current scenario think both from heart and brain. Even if they feel love for others but it seems to be logically or practically impossible to be with the person, then they prefer to end up the feelings and divert their mind and heart on something else. Love of this kind may be both sided or it may be single sided. Both sided love is one in which lovers have accepted each other’s feelings and are ready to be with each other. Single sided is one in which the one who loves hide his/her feeling from the other one. Thus, there are very rare chances that the person will be with the love of his/her life. So it’s your choice that which kind of lover you want to be. There is a famous Quote:

“IF YOU LOVE SOMEONE THEN TELL THEM, BECAUSE HEARTS ARE OFTEN BROKEN BY WORDS LEFT UNSPOKEN”

Second kind of love is the one we have from the time we start as an embryo in the womb of our maternal mother. This love is known as “PARENTS Love”. Ever thought how difficult it would have been for our parents to take care of us, fulfil our wishes, and what they would have sacrificed to make us what we are today? We can’t experience that, in face I would say that we can't even imagine that whatsoever happens with us in our life. Even when we have our own kid, we will barely be able to feel the same thing, as we are already on the step different from those where our parents were. This would hold true for our coming generations too. Whatever out parents did for us, was their love for us; which we can’t repay in any manner. The only thing which we can give them is love and show them that their sacrifices and efforts are not at all wasted.

“NEVER FORGET YOUR PARENTS, THEY ARE THE REASON… 
WHY YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE”

Third type of love is a treasure for those who get that. It’s the FRIEND’S Love. Very few people in the world have true friends who love them despite of whatever you do. They are the one who hold you up and act as a wheel in your cycle of life. If you have them then you are the luckiest person, and the wealthiest one too. These best friends are the one who are there with you all the time, even if you can’t see them. Their love and affection is always with you, but they never show that. There is a famous saying:

“WHEN DESTINY FORGETS TO TIE SOME PEOPLE IN BLOOD RELATIONS, IT CORRECTS ITS MISTAKE BY MAKING THEM TRUE FRIENDS”

There are many more types of love, but they are all those which can be summed up in one. In Simple words, life is all about love, fun and friends. So, you should try to spread this essence of love into our environment and make it worth living and away from fights. This love is the basis of many relationship, behaviors. Even humanity is partially based on love. More the love, more humble a person it, and more easily a person can connect to emotional state of other and can help them a lot. In simple words, our rule for Love in accordance to Life should be:

“LOVE THE LIFE YOU LIVE, LIVE THE LIFE YOU LOVE”
