LIFE AS WE SEE IT: LOVE AND ALL ITS FACULTIES

Love is the greatest force in existence. Life means nothing without love. Like they say “love conquers all”. Some people may think it could be ones greatest weakness but I believe it’s ones greatest strength if embrace, for they also say that “love can move mountains”. I believe love comes in all forms, whether it’s a love for a friend, family member or partner. It’s a special feeling and should not be taken for granted. You can run and hide from love all you want but it cannot be denied. So why try? Cause in the end you will fail. You may succeed in keeping it away but it will always be their hunting you like a ghost in the dark or a whisper in the distance. One should always hold on to their love ones. Love and appreciate them in return because not everyone has that or is lucky enough to experience that in their life time.

How do you know that the love is real?

When you jump to help that love one without question when they need it or when their needs are just as important as yours even more so or when you take the time to see that they are well. Sometimes it’s just the little things. Love isn’t really that complicated. It just appears to be difficult. Selflessness, now that is the ultimate sign of love, giving without expecting anything in return and making sacrifices for the betterment of another.

Your Life Partner.

True love is one of the hardest things to find for lust or even deep infatuation is sometimes mistaken for it. But love is forever and everything else is momentary. People go through life searching and never finding that special someone. Their one and only, their true soul mate. It’s sad really. Not having someone to share your life with, your ups and downs, your special moments, your successes or disappointments. We usually settle for less. Sometimes it’s because we don’t know or don’t expect better. Sometimes your life mate turns out to be your polar opposite either compared to your lifestyle or what you or other people imagine you to be with or what you normally go after. I guess this is what they mean when they say that “love is blind”. Love is funny that way isn’t it? Especially when it blindsides you and appear when you weren’t even looking for it or thought that you didn’t need it. It can be staring you in the face the whole time and you didn’t even notice since you were probably looking at something pass it.

Is there a difference in loving someone and being in love with them?

I certainly believe there is. You can love someone deeply even mistake them for your soul mate but not truly be in love with them. You can love many times but you can only be in love once for you can only have one soul mate in one life time. Well at lease that’s my belief anyway.

I say if you think you are in love with more than one person then you don’t love either one of them enough. So you see there is a difference. “Love” is vast, open and is given to many but “in love” is only given to the one your soul recognises as its other half.

How do you know you are in love?

Can one really know? Maybe one can or maybe one can’t. But I do think you will know, when the other person needs comes before your own. When the first thought in the morning when you wake up is of them and the last thought when you go to bed is also of them. When you will, without doubt give anything of yourself to them even your life or death in the case may be. When they take your breath away no matter how they look every single time. When you feel butterflies in your stomach just by a simple thought of them. When no other person can turn your head the way they do. When you can’t seem to keep your eyes or mind off them. When no other person can enter your thoughts because it only have room and is filled with that special someone. When you forget where you begin and where they end. When you will move heaven and earth to see them safe and happen. When years have gone by and the love is just as strong as or even stronger than it was especially when you thought that it couldn’t possibly get any stronger. When you realise that you can’t live without them. The list can go on and on and on. Yes, true unconditional love.

Love Lost

It can be considered the greatest pain one can go through. One may not want to continue living and want the world to end. It would seem that it’s the opposite feeling of being in love with the same intensity. Instead of wanting to live forever with the one you love you want to die as soon as u can. Instead of butterflies in the stomach, you feel like you got stab in the gut. Instead of you not wanting to forget any moment you had with that special someone you wish you will forget they ever existed. Instead of your hearth feeling it will burst with joy you feel its been ripped out of your chest and stamped on. So the list for this also goes on and on and on. So yes Love hurts when lost.

Why do we hurt the ones we Love

Sometimes we don’t mean to but we do. We’re not perfect and so will from time to time hurt the ones closest to us. Sometimes we just can’t help but hurt the ones we love even when we try not to. Maybe cause we didn’t love them as we thought or not enough or too much. Maybe it’s because they are close to us and that makes it easier for us to hurt them. The hurt sometimes come about when we try to protect them and end up doing the complete opposite in the process. Life is unpredictable and therefore events don’t always happen as plan. It doesn’t mean that we don’t love the person but rather that we are not perfect and we’re human and will stumble along the way. It is how we deal with the after effects that will prove our love’s worth.

Love is strange cause as much as we can’t sometimes help but hurt the ones we love we sometimes also can’t help but love the ones who hurt us.

But after knowing all this they say that “it’s better to have loved and lost than to have never have loved at all”. Who says these things? Maybe it was said by sentimental fools or love struck puppies or the hopeless romantics or just by people who have just had the best luck in the world with love and have not been struck down by the hands of despair. But I have to admit after knowing about all the great things and ignoring the bad, “I want to know what love is” and I bet you do to.
