Please fall in love
AUTHOR Han Su-yin said it well in her best selling novel Love Is A Many-Splendoured Thing. I believe in it and have experienced it. For those who have not touched base with the real thing, don't despair.
When it's time, you too shall be consumed by that many splendoured thing. Love can only be experienced. Many poets and writers have written and expressed their overpowering feelings about it through the millennia. However, the essence of true love has eluded all humanly efforts to bottle it or define in its most complete sense.
Honestly, true love can only be experienced. Once you have let it into your heart and soul, it becomes you. There are some individuals who will never show their love for anyone because they believe the emotion makes them "weak".
Nothing can be further from the truth. Love empowers an individual. It makes him so much greater as a spirit dwelling in a human body. Love triggers greatness in a person. It extracts the truth of your existence.
Those who are afraid to love, are normally living half or a fraction of their potential. It introduces loneliness into their persona. No matter how much material possession they eventually have, they would discover that "something is missing". And that missing part is love.
Nobody needs to tell a mother about love. She lives it through her children, with them and is united with them. Tell a romantic young man who has fallen in love to describe his feelings, and he will dive into superlatives regarding his new-found love.
Those who are truly in love lives for others. Those who are in love with themselves lives only for themselves.
The history of mankind is filled with events and great happenings that took place in the name of love. Kingdoms have fallen and created on the grounds of love. Love has sparked revolutions and acts that have altered the course of human history.
Love is born in innocence. Look into a child's eyes and see the essence of love and wonderment in them. Love thrives best in a heart that's pure.
For example, a child who loves his/her parents will love them unconditionally. When they are scolded, they just cry. Moments later, they will rush over and hug you, much to your shame and delight at the same time. In a way, that's the way, love is.
Tell a man who's in love that the object of his desire is in a dire situation, and you will instantly see the concern in him. Love is about caring, protecting, sharing but never smothering, overbearing and overprotecting.
Woe is he who has confessed that he has never fallen in love before, or he has never loved anyone before. To be in that state is like being perpectually hungry. You will never know the feeling of satisfaction. You will never know what it's like to touch of another.
A person in that state lives in the shadow of his darkness. He exists but he does not live. He eats but he's forever hungry. He walks but never with hope and confidence.
Do not be afraid of love or frighten to fall in love. Love frees you to see the hidden beauties found in all things. Love is the light that shines from the stars on a dark night. Love is the breeze that refreshes the core of your being.
If you have nothing else but love, then you are complete. If you have everything else but love, then you are poor indeed.
A man who has much love desires little. A man who has much of everything else but not love, is always searching but not knowing what he's looking for.
When love is in you, everything and everyone around you look great in your eyes. Love frees the celestial energy that makes up you. Love is a connection.
Songs have been written about the "love connection". It is the X-factor that rocks the younger generation. It is the elixir that makes the mature age gracefully. It is the path that smoothens your passage to hereafter.
Next time, when you look at someone you love, see the aura or energy that comes from it. Or, when someone or some creature (could be a dog) who loves you, look deep into her eyes and see the eternal rhythm that beats with the tempo of a loving heart.
Love is here, love is now, and love is forever. If there's only one thing which you desire here on earth, choose love and nothing else. It is from love that you will have everything else. You will never be in need again.
