Defining Love



How can we describe an emotion so vast and encompassing? An emotion that is  the very basis of our existence and survival? Is love all that is positive and good, or is it something more intense? One word and so many shades - it is practically the white light hiding all the colors of the world of emotion. fall in love, fall out of love, we love someone, we love things and activities - yet all these shades have different implications.

So is love just magnanimous giving without any expectations or is it more? Is it just fleeting, is it selfish or is it sacrificing? Is it when you care for someone more than you  or is it when someone just becomes an integral part of you?

Honestly, I am still trying to figure it out - yet all I can be sure of it is a positive feeling - a feeling where you want to give, to care. It is when someone else's well being becomes more important than yours, when you  find that a smile on the people you become a mirror to their joys and sorrows.

Like everything else in this world, loving from heart is also vulnerable to change and time. Yet when you love someone with your soul - would it change too? Love can erode, can deplete or grow and evolve depending on how you nurture  it. You have  to constantly water it, nourtish and , protect it against the negative forces of life.
