A couple of days back someone came up to me & asked "what according to you is love?" or when do u decide that now ur finally in love??.....
honestly..... i didn't have an answer to her question - - because i had never thought over it - - LOVE - the expression has been taken for granted so badly - - that the true meaning seems to have blurred out somewhere in mid air - -
So i asked a couple of friends around & here's what i got in return - -
1) Love is when u hear violins in the air - -
2) its when ur smiling all the time- -
3) its when u know that ur willing to sacrifice the most precious things for that person - -
4) love is to compromise
5) love is when u want to think its love - -
love is this love is that - -etc etc - -
the answers seemed to be extremely vague - - coz i believe that i'm in love - - but never have i heard violins, i'm not always smiling (thanks to the rickshaw drivers in mum) - n I'm definitely not the types to go around sacrificing my precious things - - i hate compromises...& the likes - - & i'd still like to believe that i'm very much in love - - n i definitely didn't wake up one morning thinking - - OK today seems to be a perfect day to fall in love - - so be it - - (bullocks)
For me - love is gradual - is thought over - - is a decision that requires ur heart & ur brain to work simultaneously - - because there is nothing worse than falling for the wrong person - -it is definitely give n take.....but what - - u dont give ur problems & take their peace of mind!! NO - - u have to decide what makes both happy - - u need to keep urself happy 1st because that the only way u'll spread happiness- - u have to love urself to spread love & only then will u be able to love & be loved - -
sound extremely selfish - - i know - - but think about it - - if u dont sacrifice the things u love for someone - - u'll be happy - & only a happy person can spread happiness - - & bring happiness to loved ones - -
alot of people may think otherwise - - -its obviously each individual's persons choice - - & its respected.
