WHAT IS LOVE ???

I guess i have been contemplating a lot these days on the times that have gone by ...and those that will come . Every experience of life when taken alone raises a certain sort of omnipotence over everything else and yet when looked upon collectively gather minuscules of importance in the group of events that have shaped our lives. Many questions asked remain unanswered and many that have been unanswered set us on a quest that always beings something fruitful in our lives.

I guess the heavens designed earth and the emotions associated with mans life through object oriented programming cause abstraction is a chief element associated with our lives. It is the abstract that leads to the meaningful and hence this quest called mindless musings.

The other day , i was asked this question what is love to you ?

i said a lot and yet it couldnt encompass what i wanted to say . i asked the question back and i received an answer that was so similar to mine and yet profoundly different.

this set my mind thinking and i decided....why not it be an entry in mindless musings ????

so here i am .

"To be in love is merely to be in a state of perceptual anesthesia." - H.L. Mencken

Is it now?? well maybe cause i have seen that love in any form ...from parents ...your girl ...your friends ..i mean anyone at all lets you free and protected . yet it has to be termed anaesthetic because when that love is torn apart then it leads to traumatic pain .

coming to me . i believe in a lot of things about love . however lets talk about something that love refers to in our context .

I have always stood staunch that things don't happen in a planned way . People who organize themselves and decide..I'm gonna do this at this time and be that at that time is good . yet some aspects in life must be left untouched. Love is all about serendipity and i guess that is the beauty of it . It maybe refers to a selfless attitude towards someone , a emotion where you tend not to bother about your worries or limitations but rather think about someone else's

lets look at this positively .....Ive seen it work on many ....people become more complete after it happens.

many of my friends have gone way beyond what they were just to see a single smile sparkle. Language, interests, people .....the list goes on but in short nothing stands in the way .

its not an action but a way of life .

love doesn't mean pubbing or dating or fooling around. It is reliving your life with a renewed vigour to live the life the way you want to but with someone close at heart taking the journey with you and seeing the beauty of your creations with the same joy and passion andof course the other way around. if you are not prepared to accept the other perosns interests and dreams...love aint for you bro.

it means something so abstract yet so clear . The modern day life has freed up the shackles that the Young men and women were bonded with .

however i guess it took away their minds too . we see broken relationships and more. maybe it could be because of the wrong decisions made. infactuation confused with love .

the best way that i think to test it is to look at life selfishly in your perspective ....See what you want and what you wish to take out.

if it matches....then maybe your with the right person . if the willingness to realise dreams together is staunch and the heart to sacrifice anything is there then maybe its true love .

the ultimate test i guess is the gut feeling. the strangest part of love is it isn't anything defined but rather something in our instincts .

however we all "fall" in love someday .

why do we

Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it...It really is worth fighting for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything, you risk even more." - Erica Jong


i guess that's the bottom line
