Love is one of the most furtive sentiments that ancient artists and poets had been attempting to manifest its explicit definition through aesthetic illustrations, even up till today. It approaches our daily lives in various ways: affection, friendship, infatuation, passion, and many others, but these expressions never fail to contribute to felicitousness. Inasmuch as we are living in a firm society, people tend to have myopic thinking of circumscribed knowledge and logical reasoning that is limited, thus incapable of broadening their sense of awareness towards certain concerns, such as love. The simple negligence directly taken from the very essence of ignorance would drive the unconscious individuals to irrational contemplations, such as the seven deadly sins: pride, envy, lust, anger, avarice, sadness, and gluttony. These are common deceptions misled by banal misconceptions, but the magic of love is that it can flare them all at once just by kindling its slightest glow, igniting one’s glee.
Love is the urging of human beings to experience oneness, unity, and entirety. It does not the only compromise of romantic love, but also brotherly or family love and, the conspicuous one, yet essential: universal love. The verity of love animating two distinct strangers as one, the establishment of destined love induced from faithful friendship bonds that will last for eternity, and the ability for one to disseminate love in diversified aspects, not by means of different quantities. When people misinterpreted love, the outcomes are deceptive. The usual delusion is that, without another, one is incomplete. The beings that we are already impeccably consummated from the moment we were created. It is love that brings fruition; to make us conceive the appreciation of what we already had: completion as an individual. Love for oneself is the beginning of a life-long bliss. It is, in fact, the seed of life that begins to blossom at birth, where it will learn logistics and rationales to determine oneself. The more it acquired, the more it harvested, and therefore it incorporates the value judgments based on its own experiences. Once it is able to realize its own supremacy, it will be able to identify everyone’s best interest as one and tumble to the reality that it is capable of loving everyone equally; not in the same way, but in the same amount.
Issues of sex have been augmenting throughout the years, where people only pinpoint on getting physical rather than spiritual. The adoration of corporeal appeal blinded these people by enshrouding themselves with falseness, immorality, and cupidity. These factors prevailed upon lust, which often interferes with relationships facing an insecure perspective. When true love ignites a burning desire for physical attachment, its intensity will last long, or even forever. But when it ends abruptly, it is proven that they know not to love them, but are familiar with infatuation. Therefore the fondness only exists momentarily.
To satisfy an urgent desire to unite with the beloved of pure passion physically is a way for mortal people like us to experience oneness, providing the health aspects understood, every consequence considered, and every care and joy expressed. This means that preparation had been taken care of beforehand, which signifies that the couple took care and concern for their relationship to be maintained for long. This motive involves both spirit and physique; both inseparably intertwined to become one, providing the two individuals feeling the unity beyond earthly possessions.
To be able to love is to feel trust, care, understanding, acceptance, appreciation and respect towards oneself in every aspects of life. Once one has succeeded in acquiring these implications based on past experiences, he will be self-conscious about his own consummated values and will learn to see oneself as someone treasured. At this stage, he will stumble upon compassion towards others. This is the token of fundamental love; the love for all: universal love. When he regards others as highly as himself, he will be capable of distinguishing everyone’s greatest interest of their own. This is the point of possibility where everyone will unite as one; with the endowment of love as the human urging to prove that we are not apart from each other. It matters not whether it will be happening in the near future or at the time of our descendants, but, as Saint Paul had concluded in 1 Corinthians 13, love is the highest of all virtues; without it, the clusters of people will not be as compact as it seems, the flora and fauna will not be animated as it seems, and the world we are living in will not be as enlivened, buoyant and effervescent as it seems.
True love is a complex feeling. Unlike most other things, true love at its most potent occurs when the situation becomes it’s most bleak. If two subjects truly share a bond of love between each other, that bond will have a strong connection through the brightest and darkest times. In conclusion of “Love” is that there is no conclusion there will never be one. Love is a never-ending cycle of different meanings.
