Love makes life so beautiful

Love is when “You don’t need someone to complete you. You only need someone to accept you completely” because You come to love not by finding the perfect person but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly. If it happens with the right person, then it will be heaven and if it happens with the wrong person, then hell. Love has so many faces, and it makes life beautiful in various ways. The word love is used as an expression of affection towards someone else (I love you) but it also expresses pleasure (I love chocolate). To make it a little more complicated, the word “love” also expresses a human virtue that is based on compassion, affection and kindness. This is a state of being, that has nothing to do, with something or someone outside yourself. This is the purest form of Love.

The ancient Greek used 7 words to define the different states of love:

Storge: natural affection, the love you share with your family.

Philia: the love that you have for friends.

Eros: sexual and erotic desire kind of love (positive or negative)

Agape: this is the unconditional love, or divine love

Ludus: this is playful love, like childish love or flirting.

Pragma: long standing love. The love in a married couple.

Philautia: the love of the self (negative or positive)

These are 7 different kind of feelings. The love you feel for your partner is not the same as the love you feel for your mother. Even the love for your partner changes in time. You feel different emotions for different situations and people. But still, we use the same word. It is easy to understand that a confusion is easy made while communicating. I can say “I love you” to two different people (and mean it), but I am actually feeling in a different way.

Love is beautiful because- It makes the child in us come alive. It makes us appreciate small joys in life, which we miss as adults. It makes us dance and live and be happy. It gives hope. It makes the world beautiful. It makes us appreciate ourselves. It gives a reason to live. It gives a reason to improve and grow. It makes us experience various emotions - joy, pain, laughter, bliss, excitement, anxiety, fear, courage..It takes us closer to the true nature of our being. This list can’t stop here but I have to stop it for now. Good relations don’t just happen – they take time, patience and two people who truly want to be together.Enjoy little things in life because one day you will look back and realize they were the big things.

Of course love is necessary to make one’s life beautiful. Love doesn’t only mean love towards the opposite sex, but most important is the love towards oneself- towards his own body, towards his soul, towards his hobbies and his goals. If you hate yourself, sooner or later you will fall a prey to tensions and a quick decline in your mental and physical health. Love the nature you live in, love the sound of chirping of birds. To test it, just wake up early for a day. Leave your mobile, smartwatch and everything that is smarter than you. Jog towards your nearest park or greenery and then relax for few minutes with the nature. Eventually, you will find that love is life and life is beauty, and its the only thing for which you exist.

Love is our destiny because we cannot find the meaning of life alone by ourselves, we find it with another ?. Loving someone can beautify your life or may impair it at the same time. It actually depends on the person you chose to love, he/she is the one who's going to create a definition of love for you. Loving a wrong person, giving them each and every part of you and later on realising that your existence never mattered to them may break your heart into pieces. But if you get someone who knows your worth, who puts an effort to make you smile every single day, handle your moods wings with patience without getting annoyed, makes you feel special and beautiful, takes out time from his /her busy schedule just to talk to you and make you feel appreciated in every possible way then your life is surely going to be as beautiful as heaven.

I lost a job at a very good company after my graduation due to some medical issue. After that, I have joined post graduation, where no one was there to share my pain. I was going through hell lot of problems. Health issues, family issues, employment issues, financial issues what not?. I felt like I couldn’t swim through all those hurdles. Somehow I have completed it, and got a job in XXX company in Mumbai. My life was dry. Dry like Sahara. I didn’t understand why it became like that at the age of 24. I was smiling at people, cracking jokes, and doing every day chores. I was a walking lifeless person wearing a smiling mask.

I got to know her through a colleague. She was my colleague’s roommate. We three planned to go somewhere, but it didn’t work out. She (my colleague’ roommate) took my number from her roommate to say me sorry, as there was a confusion from her side which led to dropping from the plan. I was the organizer of the plan, so she felt like saying sorry as a decency. I was in Bangalore that time, enjoying with friends on a tour. I was pissed of with the cancelling of plan, and needed some refreshment. She messaged me for the first time. I didn’t even know how she looks. Our plan was to see each other directly in our meet. But as it got cancelled she messaged to say sorry.

She was matured with thinking. She explained beautifully what led her to drop from the plan. Even though I thought of not giving a shit, I couldn’t resist myself. She was damn awesome in chatting. She said sorry, I said its okay. Chat ended after one hour. But, I couldn’t take her off from my head. Her messages and her way of explaining what has happened was awesome, and I couldn’t resist myself from messaging her again. Being a shy guy, it took lot of courage to me to send her ‘ your words are sugary, I am still in afternoon chat only’ message. She responded, but she thought I was a jerk. she ended chat in ten minutes. Later exchange of good mornings and good evenings made us good friends.

I saw her after one month. we met in a restaurant. She was not fair, but cute little beautiful girl. She is talkative and fun loving, She loves me a lot. I know that. She was true and genuine in love. Its been six months now. I talk with her everyday. We exchange our daily routines. We chat, we meet. I still have all those issues. Health issues, financial issues, family issues, job issues. Everything is still there with the same intensity. But those are not making my days sad. She was there to lift me up from my bad moods. We just casually chat, but that’s enough to make my day smiling. Yes love makes life beautiful. Experience talks. Cheers!
