"I love
you"
"I cannot
live without your love"
"Your love
makes me complete"
These are some
of the most common phrases used to describe love. Yet we see a lot of divorce
and separation taking place in the world and people around us.
Do we truly
understand the meaning of this word,"LOVE"
As per the
dictionary love means:
noun
noun: love; plural noun: loves
1.
a strong feeling of affection.
·
a strong feeling of affection and sexual
attraction for someone.
·
affectionate greetings conveyed to someone
on one's behalf.
·
a formula for ending an affectionate
letter.
2.
a great interest and pleasure in something.
3.
a person or thing that one loves.
4.
(in tennis, squash, and some other sports)
a score of zero; nil.
It has become as
empty as its meaning, nothing specific and not a direct guide to what the
meaning actually is.
The origin of
the word is from a German and old English word lufu, which means
"desire".
From the
definitions shared above we should ask our selves what is the meaning of I love
you as a statement. I desire you, I cannot live without your desire, your
desire completes me.
Which would seem
so worthless for the love to exist forever, the marriage or the relation is
bound to end when love has such a shallow interpretation.
Love is about
giving and sharing. Not about wanting or taking. A relationship only will last
the test of time when there are two or more people who would want to keep
giving love to the other instead of being desirous of an expectation from the
other.
Love is then a
beautiful word that can create ripples in our relation and the person who we
want to share the emotion with. It also makes us conscious of who we should
love and care for.
LOVE 7, spend 7
minutes of your day telling the person who you think you love, why you love
them. It is less than a percent of the time in a day and yet these 7 minutes
are going to make the change that your relation has a need for. The choice is
in your hands.
You can make the
difference by just letting the love flow from a receiving to a giving. From a
wanting to an offering. The river flows towards the person and you will see a
change in your life. The life that you dreamt of, the love that you wanted by
giving the love without any expectation of want.
