I’m sure almost all
of us know the importance of love. Thinking about all the good changes that
love brings in a person’s life; reading about the fantastic stories of innumerable
authors & seeing all those happy couples around, you are bound to feel alone
somewhere, sometime.
But the truth is, irrespective of our socio-economic status, we are responsible for that situation.
Love is available in abundance. But we are reluctant to accept it. We accept the love according to our needs. When we feel alone or rejected, we go for the love that is secondary for us in nature. And when we’re happy, we completely ignore it & go back to our primary needs of love.
Even if, thousands of reasons are there around us to love or to be loved; we stick to our ideas of love.
We accept the love, which we think we deserve. That love, which we falsely believe, doesn’t bring any change in our life; we reject it. When we are with our friends, we reject the love of our parents. When our wishes are fulfilled, we reject the love of God also.
And it does not happen subconsciously. It takes place at the level of full knowledge, which tells us that we are in no danger of losing this love.
Love is meant, to spread everywhere in the world. We concentrate it on a person or a thing. And wait for it to come back from the same direction. And when it doesn’t, we feel inferior & lonely. But in that state of our mind also, love doesn’t close its doors for us. Because, love doesn’t know any duality, we do.
We think before we love, when we are supposed love before we think. The segregation of love starts with a criterion, a human to love or to be loved. Then comes the nationality, then race & then the financial status. We put so many barricades in the way of love.
And the love which tries to cross these barricades, we reject it. We ignore that love. Our selfish nature makes us dumb enough to reject our own happiness.
Why do we reject love? Are we afraid of loving? Are we afraid of being loved? Are we obsessed with our social image? The answer of all these questions is assertive in different degrees for all of us.
Love is flowing. It is flowing on the streets, in the gardens, through the trees & the animals & the people around us. We just need to go outside & give away some of it. It returns to us in the multifolds. So from today, let us accept love, because we deserve it no matter where it comes from. It deserves us, no matter where we come from. :)

Hi Aashay! Sarika her (from college). Deepesh told me you two write a blog so here I am to check it out.
ReplyDeleteThis article is lovely! I agree with you on almost everything you've said, especially the 'we think before we love' (although I tend to do the opposite) part. And of course, The Perks Of Being A Wallflower quote... "We accept the love we think we deserve" is downright true. Also, I love how you stress on the fact that love can be found and spread any and everywhere.
Honestly, I believe we don't love to our full capacity, but then again, each one has their own way of expressing love.
Beautiful piece and I'll be stopping by to check out more of your writing!
I'm following you via GFC and would highly highly appreciate it if you check out my best friend's and my book blog, The Readdicts.
Sarika @ The Readdicts
