LOVE


I just read one of my friends' blogs. It seems like she's always troubled by love matters. Saying things like death is better than enduring the pain in the heart. Sometimes I wonder, does love relationship is so important in life that it will affect someone so much to the extend that he/she is willing to die for it?


I think it's a silly action. Death can't solve anything. It only makes things worse. I don't deny that love is the greatest thing in the world. With love, there is peace. But love never hurts people. If you really love someone, why would you feel pain? If love is painful, then why love? Many people mistakenly think that love is suffering if he/she can't get to be with him/her. But this is not love. This is lust. This is desire. When your lust or desire overtakes your love for that person, then it becomes a suffering to you when you can't get him or her.


But if you really love someone, do you really need to be with him/her? Think about it. Yes, it will be perfect if you get to be with him/her. But is it really happiness comes because of this?


Think deeply. Ponder on it. What is love to you? Parents love their children. Friends love their best buddies. But do they need to stick to each other all the time? No. But the love is there. And sometimes even stronger than any couple. And it is not suffering. Sometimes I just can't stand those people who just simply love anyone without even understanding what love really is and not taking it seriously just because they merely want a companion. It's such a childish act. I agree that human beings are afraid of loneliness. Me too. I'm afraid of loneliness too. But this doesn't mean that I need to simply love someone just for the sake of a companion.


When you are lonely, think of your parents. Think of your friends. Are they not lonely sometimes? If you feel that you suffering a lot now in life, trust me. You are not. When you can still online to read my blog, you are much more fortunate that those who don't even have a computer or proper education.


Still feeling down? Your life is shaped by your thoughts. If you want happiness to fill your life, think of happy stuff. Try it. You will feel the difference. Throw the negative thoughts. Be gratitude with what you have. You never know how others are doing out there.
