I came across an Article in the newspaper which spoke about Love. The article quoted the definition of love as given in the Bible."Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; It does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
This is such a beautiful & complete way of expressing an emotion (which I always considered indescribable). Tomorrow is Valentine's Day - the day to celebrate Love in its entirety and utmost purity. I have heard, read & come across a lot of people who question the relevance of this day. But I say why not?? Why shouldn't we have a day that celebrates Love - the essence & beauty of 'Love'. Love that captures not just a romantic bond between a couple but also chaste love between a mother & a child, the camaraderie between two friends, the sweet-sour affection among siblings, the faithful devoutness of a devotee for God or for that matter, a plain un-named relationship between two individuals.
I wholeheartedly agree with the thinking that we must understand, cherish & express our Love to our loved ones every single day (or for that matter each moment of our existence). In these unpredictable strange times of life, we all must gather, steal & wheedle out all those beautiful moments of love & togetherness that we can. But as we get caught in the whirlpool of life, I think days like the Valentine's day bring with it a tender realization of the significance of love. Its certainly not meant to be the only day in the year when you celebrate love. To me, this day is an opportunity to celebrate, to do something extra-special for all the people who mean the world to me, feel blessed & grateful for all the love I have and most importantly, promise myself to be more loving & giving with each passing moment.
Cheers to 'Love' and all those people who believe in 'Love'...
HAPPY VALENTINE's DAY!!! :)
