True Love: Make it happen

The month of Love is here which has inspired me to write about love. I am not an expert on love by any stretch of imagination, but thought of sharing my views with my readers. I have always wondered does true love really exits in today’ s fast paced world? People change their lovers faster than changing their clothes. When people propose their love, how many actually mean it what they are saying...I have my serious doubts. Many may think that I am just being cynical of love or probably I really don’t know what love is all about, but just look around, hardly anyone nowadays is into a stable relationship, divorce rates are at a all time high in our country.

Life is moving fast, everyone now wants instant relationship, just like instant coffee. People are enamoured towards lust rather than love. The word ‘Commitment’ has gone out of this world. Valentine day is celebrated to celebrate love, but the same people who were ‘committed’ to each other on 14 Feb of a particular year, you will see them in someone else’s arms the next year...so much for a true love.

True love never happens instantaneously, just like any other success we achieve, it requires time, patience and commitment. True love is success of life. It gives meaning to our life, it alleviates our pain, it makes the world around us ever so beautiful. In true love the lover and the beloved are one. The sense of your own identity and individuality vanishes. The other, therefore, does not place a limit on the lover’s freedom; rather, communion with the beloved leads to unbound freedom. It frees us from limits imposed on us by our ego. My advice to all those people who are in love, guys make your love a true love, because love alone as a word has no meaning nowadays, give it time, don’t leave your partner for some petty issues, make your relationship work, life will test you at each step, but treat it as a learning curve, because when you will be facing moments of self doubt, your true love will give you strength to overcome it, God could not come down to this earth, but he has given all of us a power, a power to experience HIM through the medium of true love, love your other half(it may be your wife, your girlfriend, your boyfriend, or your husband) unconditionally and with all your energy and you will experience HIM its a guarantee!!!
