Love? What the hell is love? How much do you think you know about love? Well, frankly speaking I’m not a master about love. Based on my research, I found out what love means and my favourite description of love is from the movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin:
"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, and it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
-St. Augustine
Human beings are forever surrounded by love. Our presence today is also due to the power of love, so be thankful to love and don’t ever try to think of denying it. Love itself is very wide and it has different perspective based on different person. For example, my love is first dedicated to my parents, then to my siblings, family, friends, and last but not least, I spare my heart for someone special to me. Maybe this may sounds weird or crazy, but my family means everything to me and I would do anything for them, and sometimes I even think that I would die for them. That’s the power of love in me but I know there’s a lot more outside there willing to do anything for love. And we know this is all because of the power of love towards human’s life.
“Love is swift, sincere, pious, joyful, generous, strong, patient, faithful, prudent, long-suffering, courageous, and never seeking its own; for wheresoever a person seeketh his own, there he falleth from love.”
Thomas p Kempis
1379-1471, German Monk, Mystic, Religious Writer
