A few thoughts on Love

Wat is expressing love? Is it all abt hugs and kisses and holding hands? Is it abt long walks alone and long sweet talks? Then wat is it? Well.. The above thing mayb some of the aspects in which expression of love expresses itself.. But real expression of love is tat wonderful safe, secure, satisfied feeling tat we experience.. Tat amazing peace and silence in our heads.. A small smile tat says it all.. And a sparkle in the eyes tat mystify and dazzle.. Real love does not need means of being expressed.. It is just felt and known.. Its lik realisation of the being.. Exhilaration.. Happiness.. Excitement.. All mixed into one.. Its just all smiles.. But without having to smile.. The smile is in the personality.. The vibes will be there.. It cannot be hidden. . Live it to kno it..


Why is love such a big issue? Wat is tat soul moving thing abt love for which it is talked abt, debated, made into movies, etc, etc, etc!? It is such an emotional ordeal.. Why do ppl go thru it? And how the heck is the pain "pleasureable"?? Wat sparks off love? Wats so magical abt it? Ppl say its the union of two souls.. But arent all souls part of One? Wat uniting is there? If love is all abt attachment, isnt tat a big burden? Love should liberate.. Not hold back.. It should elevate.. Not deviate.. It should live.. Not die.. It should be.. Not become.. If love can "come", it can also leave.. True love is just a realisation of wat exists.. An attraction tat results owing to knowledge.. True love comes from insight.. Does not need impressing.. Its a part of nature.. It'll always exist.. Loving is not an action or emotion.. It is living.. Love has no bounds.. And cannot be restricted.. It can not die.. And so.. It can never live..


I cant say love is abt lust.. Lust is a part of love.. But is not love itself.. Friendship, trust, respect, affection.. According to me, this is the basis of love.. You need to have respect for each other.. Should be able to take each other for granted, at the same time, realise the other person's needs and emotions.. Its a culmination of many things.. Causes vary, the way its expressed vary, results vary.. But its kinda impossible to fix a point definition for it..

Today love is increasingly becoming physically oriented.. Looks, eyes, lips, shape, etc take precedence over behaviour, character, innocence, etc.. Searching for real love in today's world is pretty tough.. Literally lik finding a needle in a hay stack.. But its out there.. But i doubt if love is something tat goes beyond the heart.. Lik to the soul.. I dunno if love is the eternal truth lik many ppl say.. I dont even think love is eternal..
