Well the first song my Ipod made me listen to was “mohabbat ki jhoothi kahani par roye” [ Translation : Cried over the lying tales of love ] .. And though the lyrics are pretty clear with no hidden reference to anything, the lines made me think about the concept of love. A friend last week had argued that unless we love ourself, we can not love any one. And i guess he makes sense now. If I can not love myself, how can I expect some one else to do that same ? My flaws are mine but they are no more than the good I posess. I am lot better that I judge myself [ also lot worse than I think ]. But that’s what and who I am. and always be.
Love does not lie. Love indeed gives you all happiness you seek. And it can give you loads of pain too if you try to decide the source of love and ignore the rest. Friends , family , readers of my blog , people I talk to online and offline , my team mates , any one who makes my day any better becomes my source of Love. And I become the source when I acknowledge the same. And I just love them all a lot. Some of them , I love too much I guess. And it makes me happy just to know such wonderful people.
So If i still want to cry foul that life did not give me a taste of love, well, I am going to make a fool of myself. I am finally prepared to wait for the one person who will come and understand my bonds to others and glue them with his trust and cares. I need no one who wants me to cut away from my network of people just to have a bubble of forced safety. Not again.
My heart is not empty any more to let any one make home there. It neither is full enough not to let worthy people stay in some corners.
I am now running out of both ideas and time , So I stop typing now.
Whatever this might mean to you,
Bless you !
Loved be !
In love with this post.
Very true.
Nicely written
Glad you could make some sense out of this !
I always believed that Love is not limited to one person we would want to spend our lives with. Love is beyond any limits and there are like you said, too many sources of love.
All we need to do is to be open towards it and keep our conceptions beyond that one track love.
Love!
Love is nothing but embracing life as life, as you see it, hear it, feel it and know it, and not letting anything pass you by. loved this post
I understand what you mean totally. Goood I know exactly what love is or was or how ..
I guess once someone sees the other side we realise what we missed as you said the love of friends – family and all .. which we did not see when we were in love with ONE selfish lier.
now we got more to love and take love from
Lovely article …
you take care and Smile ….
Oh Dear! You seem to have written your heart out this time.Love~ not again~in your life forced me to think of my emotional aloofness!!
Love, online or off-line, does not exist..like a sponge,it soaks all your emotions & leaves you dry as ever…
its a big truth, if we dont love ourselves none else will.
thats the reason positive people have so many friends and admirers.
the world smiles with you and good friends stick with you for a while when you cry.
I completely agree with you…love is the name of appreciating each others strengths and shielding your partner’s weaknesses…n its very hard to work on it really..a temporary solution can be found but in the long run,its very important to understand to each other. The chemistry between people has to be natural and straight from the heart. In the middle of them all, sacrifices and adjustments also play a major role in sustaining a relation.
Nice thought Nimue.
