Are we demanding too much out of Love......?
LoVe- an overly hyped word........ highly misinterpreted expression.......... commonly found but rarely understood. This definition was formed in my mind as result of contionuous encounter with this humanly affection since my teenage days.
I feel like explaining it part by part. Overly hyped......... This is evident with the increasing number of teenage marraiges & the equally active protestors against Valentine's day. Love isfrilled with accessories & hence hyped. I remember my first encounter with something as close to love was the figure of HEART. This symbol of love enchanted me because it was a tabboo in schools. "Us ladke ne us ladki ko paper pe red crayon se heart banake apne dost ke haath bheja " Well, how we would gossip & wisper about it for days. As we grew the red crayon transformed into something more gory-BLOOD. Arrey yaar jaake sidha us ladki ko I Love you bolne se kaam agar nahi banta to find somebody else na. Pooja nahi to dooja :) But agar hype nahi banaya to pyaar kya kiya? "I gave my sweetheart 10 roses for the ten days he followed me before proposing me".......Hype, aur kya. Then those highly powerful dialouges " Meri zindagi tumhare bina ek zinda laash hai!!! " Ladki na hui Oxygen ho gayi & believe me girls (including me......) do get flattered by it even though they know how true it is.
Highly Misinterpreted............... Some day one guy was boasting... Its so difficult to Love. I started to correct him (my typical quality ) I told him "Its very easy to love but its hell lot difficult to commit yourself to that person. You may love your dog but are you prepared to take its responsibility? Clean its shit, bathe it, hug it when he is lonely? That's Love.... Isn't it? " Well, he got all confused. For him loving was falling head over heels with a dame :) . May be thats how it is.
Commonly found but rarely understood ....... "How can I marry that girl? I dont love her?" Even I have faith in this fundamental belief, but when I look at so many broken hearts & unsuccessful marraiges, my thinking goes for a toss. Well, my parents first got married & then fell in love& they are still in love with each other. One finds so many people in love but its rarely understood because its purposefully made complicated. I have heard about this couple who waited for nine years for their parents' consent. Well, no doubt this guy serves in the Indian army.
After conducting a post mortem on my definition I feel that we are demanding too much out of a simple human emotion called - LOVE.
