My views, which many may not agree with. So please shoot your feedback and let me know what you people think of my views? Feel free, happy reading! LOVE IS A FEELING!
Love is more giving than taking or expecting. What love give in return is TEARS and SMILES. Yes! It is the bitter truth of life. Love is the most wonderful, beautiful and radiant feeling GOD has given to the humans. But, love is painful and fearsome too!
Whether love has been successful or unsuccessful, it leaves smiles on one’s life. Every past, which is so beautiful that love brings smiles on one’s face. If it is successful, the smile is always evident on the lover’s face with an unusual glow. I see it as love’s triumph against all odds. Smile – A well-deserved prize of the lovers for their love towards each other. The people, who succeed, are the people who never expected anything when they loved another person. This is the MANTRA of TRUE LOVE. Give and don’t expect to get something in return, you will be rewarded accordingly. If it’s unsuccessful, one may shed tears for some time, maybe for weeks, months and years together. The jokes, the teasing, the emotional ties, the conversation – There are zillion of things one remember and automatically there’s a smile on one’s face. The smile is not only a prize but it’s the feeling, the individual treasures all his / her life. The best part is that nobody can snatch or else steal one’s love for another individual. What the world has snatched is just a piece of flesh, not the ATMA (soul) or the true feelings of togetherness.
Love has often been unsuccessful rather than a success. Each and every one of us has had the experience of this wonderful feeling. Some try to hide it; some discloses it at the drop of a hat. Every single person leaves the past of unsuccessful love and still keeps living life. Tears become a past in one’s life, a gift, which only love can give, because love can never take tears in its stride. At times, it’s painful and there’s uncontrolled flow of emotions in the form of tears. Tears do flow when love break its wings and fly towards an unknown destination. The tears strengthen a person for the second chance in his / her life. Therefore, love teaches you how to co-op in life. One becomes more careful and calculated.
Yes! It is very difficult to understand love in its totality. As they say, "Love is God", we all do pray to God and act as if we know God in the best possible way. Few of the great souls have also achieved NIRVANA but to understand God is as difficult as understanding love. Love and God is the great abyss in one’s life. The deeper you go, the deeper it gets. Reaching the bottom is just IMPOSSIBLE!
Love is selfish. Love makes an individual more possessive towards another person. No one would like to share the love between two individuals. However great or saintly s/he may be. I will give you one very good example of Guru Dronacharya from MAHABHARATA (If you have read the BHAGVAD GITA). He loved Arjuna more than any of his other disciples. His love was so selfish that to make Arjuna that best archer, Guru went on to ask Eklavya to cut his thumb in Guru Dakshina. The Mahabharata cites one of the greatest selfishness of an individual that of Guru Dronacharya for his love towards his disciple Arjuna and vice-versa. A teacher always has his/her favourite student. The examples are in abundance and one can see it with one’s naked eyes.
What makes love selfish? It is the feeling of losing or one can say the fear of being left alone makes love selfish. Selfishness develops in love from the simple fear of losing one’s partner. Love is also considered to be the most ‘FEARSOME’ feeling in a human, because one becomes brave to face the world, when in love. Love, eventually takes the failure in its stride but to think of losing one’s partner is the most difficult decision love has to take. When one is in love, losing is the last thing one thinks of. Love is wonderful at the same time it’s the weirdest emotion a human can ever have. Love fills beauty in human but at the same time it fills anger too. Love teaches one to give but at the same time one expects too. Love can teach one to die for another individual but at the same time love also imbibe a sense of brutality in an individual. Love can be the name of sacrifice but at the same time love can be the name of entity. Love can conquer but at the same time love can destroy too. Love is the most selfish feeling that each individual can really boast of, whether one likes it or not (the bitter truth, which none of us accept). Some may accept it while others may just counter it, but deep down every body knows that love is another name of selfishness.

Written by Fledermaus (3448 comments posted) 4th October 2006 | It seems all true, but it's all about one type of love. It's too bad that many languages do not claerly distinguish between 'being in love' and 'loving'. The first is selfish. The second quite the opposite...
