Hello Folks,
From the inception, I have always written on topics like Current Social Condition, our skills, the way we should better ourselves and always mentioned CRICKET somewhere or the other. This time I am attempting to write in the words of Gordon Gekko aka Michael Douglas in Wall Street on "the longest running myth of the world, LOVE."
LOVE is a very strong word, used in a real apathy. Western culture has just made a mockery of the expression. Associated with tardy infatuations, unending lust of acquisition and the personal ego to land with the best, Love has just lost its divinity and real meaning.
Today, we love people and things which yearn and yield for us. We love people for their looks, way they talk and other aspects and if at all anything we love in them changes, our love just ends its course and we start finding another person to suit our requirements and fit the bill so we can love that person. This is purely Need to have the perfect things in life (Perfect to every Individual "IDEALISTIC"), and no LOVE. One fine day, we blurt out, you are no more the person I loved and it is all over.
LOVE is not this fickle and brittle. The only definition of LOVE is what each of our mother's have for us. That in true respect is LOVE. You may be a billionaire, successful, failure, fraudster, the best looker or probably the ugliest person on the face of the earth, for a mother's love all these are never the parameters. She loves to give not to want and demand. She doesn't expect an iota of even gratitude, even if you don't bother, she will never stop loving. Sadly, this is never given importance and respect in our Definition of Love, except on a Mother's Day when all hypocrites sing songs, glory to their mother just to show the world that Yes we care, the other 364 days when the world isn't bothered, they too are not bothered to show Love.
Love has no demands, no expectations and it just makes a way through all the bad qualities the person you love has. It is never found and never lost. If its there, it will be there ALWAYS.
Movies, some people who claim to be in love, some stories of true love are all the wrong PRO's of Love. They do not tell you the end but just end the drama when everything is rosy and nice. Whereas, a mother of a dreaded criminal or a bad man can show you what LOVE is. The feeling that doesn't change like seasons, with evolution of the person, success and failure or looks of the person is LOVE, rest everything is Opportunistic way of getting the Best and claiming love to it.
From a 2 year old kid to a 60 year old person, will always like, if he gets whatever he wanted and desired, because of an inherent need for the thing or person, but with time if it never changes, that is Love.
I made a small attempt to put in perspective, a feeling experienced by all of us, in many different ways for many different people and things. Everyone of us is right as Being Right is a matter of personal opinion and choice and no personal opinion can be wrong to the person having it.
I hope the change is refreshing and worth a thought !!
Cheers,
KS :)
