Let Us Love… Let Us Keep Loving

Date:

Love is something that everyone needs the most. It even feels like humans are living just to love. In the name of love, some people show so many kinds of excesses and daring actions. But all of that is not for real love- it is only done in the name of love. Whatever it is, no one truly wants love that is not sincere. That is what is needed too.

Love deeply, love sincerely. But even then, one thing should not be forgotten. Even if the person we love is not there, or even if they do not love us back the way we expect, our love does not become meaningless, nor do we become worthless.

Suicides when loved ones are lost, and attempts to harm those we love when we feel they might leave us, all come from people who have no understanding of their own love or its value.

People come into our lives at different stages to love and to be loved. Isn’t it like a long journey with many stops- people getting on and getting off? That is how it is with them too. 

They enter our lives at one stage and leave at another. They get off where they are supposed to get off. We cannot stop them.
Childhood friends, school friends, friendships from workplaces- many such loves are lost along this journey.  We may have loved them with all our heart. Likewise, some romantic relationships may not have succeeded and may have separated due to unavoidable reasons. Even then, the love invested there does not go to waste.

We cannot stop the journey either. Every journey has a destination. It starts from a point and ends at a specific place. During that journey, it does not stop just because there are fewer people. A bus reaches its destination even if it is for one passenger alone.

Life is the same. The meaning of our life is not decided by how many people are with us. So love- love sincerely. In every relationship, immerse yourself with hundred percent sincerity. But even if they do not give love back, even if they are not with you, your life does not become meaningless. Because you have the ability to love. And your love was sincere.
