Finding love is an intrinsic feeling. We simply find love even if someone sees us with a smile. We find it when a friend holds our hand. We find it when our mother kisses us. We find it when our baby first holds our finger. It is an exotic essence of every culture. Not having felt love is mission impossible.
Love does wonders.
Love is the most powerful tool since ancient times. It has the power of making you and breaking you. It can bring you down to dilapidation; it can feed you the triumph. Nowadays, people use love mostly to satiate manipulation. People make their way into things by just telling you that they love you. Parents mug children by taking their all the time they have. They can take children away from anyone simply by making that attention deprived face. Children get away ornamenting themselves with materials by telling parents that if they loved them enough they wouldn’t say no to their wishes. Friends rip you off by utilizing you to foot the bill after a hefty party telling you how much they love you for doing such a great deed.
Love can protect you as well. When you find yourself engulfed by someone’s love, you are the safest person on Earth because the duty of your safety falls on the person who loves you. It is his or her job to bear the consequences of your wrongdoing. You hit and run on the road and show physical panoply of tumult to the person who sinned to love you and he will hide your crime because that’s what his love compels him to do.
Love shelters you. Your house is not your shelter, your parents, spouses or children’s arms are. The arms full of love. It shelters you from distress. You fall into the nastiest grievance and there it is a big hug ready for you to make you forget the pain life caused you. You are behind your mortgage payment but love tells you that it doesn’t matter as long as you have your family. You come face to face of ugliness of financial depression, and your spouse holds you by the shoulder and eats dry bread with you telling you that how much you love each other and nothing is yet as powerful to bring you down.
Love gives you power. It builds an unseen force of evolution in you. You are going under surgery and you are scared, your child tells you that he would wait for you because you are the only person he loved this much, and you receive strength to recover from painful time. (But it doesn’t mean you put a suicide jacket on and blow yourself on the name of country or religion. That’s not the power I am talking about.)
Love is eternal life. It keeps you living even after you are dead. Your soul is loved. The idea of YOU is loved. Love makes your absence a presence.
Love is anguish extinguisher. If there is love, sorrow can’t enter your life. If you are suffering then be assured that your life is not textured with love. May be your love is tainted with desires. Love exists only if it is unconditional because all conditioned things are impermanent.
