According to the oxford advanced learners dictionary; love is a strong feeling of affection for somebody especially a member of the family or a friend. Just like a mother’s love or ones love for a country, fashion or food. Love is patient, kind, peaceful and love does not hurt nor because you pain, it is a free gift from nature to mankind, its unconditional and priceless. When it becomes conditional, it is no longer love but something else.
Often time’s people misunderstand love for infatuation, thus see or perceive love as a mere four letter word with so much string attached to it. They will always attribute it to blindness by saying that ''love is blind'', i feel very sad when i hear someone say that, this is because i feel it shouldn't be so, love is a free gift from nature to us, so it cannot be blind, it is the most beautiful thing God created, it is rather people who are blinded by infatuation thinking they are in love, Infatuation is not love, if not for any other reason, but for the mere fact that it can be violent and cause people pain contrary to love.
The greatest love of all is the unconditional love of a mother and child and that of God our creator. We all deserve to love and be loved in return, you may think you are done with love because you were meeting the wrong people, the fact is that love have not found you, when it does, you will then be able to separate love from infatuation, but always remember that God is the greatest love of all, love one another like you love yourself.
Love is truly a beautiful thing. It sometimes is confusing and often times misunderstood.
ReplyDeleteWe need to first find love in God before we can truly say we love ourselves.
you right on this one Nkechi. love is not blind, it does not hurt either. people must learn to differentiate between love, lust,or affection. moreover, God's love is really. we can lean from the big man.True love never ends.
