Loving company makes life beautiful

What is the beauty of life without love? Right from when a child is born, it's the love from family that makes it beautiful. A family is bonded by the love they share. If not love, what would keep them together, happily? The purest form of love makes one happy and strong. It acts as a motivational power to attain success in life, thus making life beautiful.

Love is everywhere, between everything, between your mind and your body. If not love, there won't be peace. It would mean destruction, war, ego, anger, fear, sadness and all those deadly emotions. Love is that emotion which balances everything in life. Yes, to understand love is hard. But once you do, it would make your life more than just beautiful.

"Love makes life marvellous & not just beautiful". Loving the right thing and person at right time can make it happen and it's opposite is equally harmful. Loving your studies, sports and extra curricular activities during school time can make your life beautiful but excess of anything can disturb your life. Loving a person of opposite gender during this time can spoil your education, career and even whole life. Loving your family and friends forever can make your life beautiful. Loving and caring every living being can make your life good. But trusting anybody blindly can hamper your peace of mind.

Loving your physical, emotional and spiritual health and doing yoga, pranayam, meditation and work out regularly can make your life beautiful. But loving alcohol, cigarette, porn etc can destroy your life. Loving and following truth, honesty, hard work, integrity and other good virtues/habits can make your life wonderful whereas loving greed, ego, wrong path, cheating etc will ruin your present and future both. Loving your skills and interests, developing it and making career in related field can make your life beautiful. But loving and doing something in which you are not strong or/and not interested can break you.

Loving a person of opposite gender after studies or when your career has started will make your life great. Loving person to whom you are married can make your life fabulous and loving somebody's else spouse can make your life hell. 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. Cheers!
