What's Love?

Most of our minds are trained to think, Love as a relationship between teenagers of opposite sex. Well, its a kinda Love, but it alone cannot be considered love, at least according to me a 'NO'. Lover is a misnomer for a would-be spouse nowadays, a coin termed by some fool, who did not know what is English, as well Love. Well, I'm not the one opposed to teenage love, but one who believes there are other forms of love too.

I can hear you say, "Hey man! Umm....Why don't you then, tell me what Love is?" Yes, that's my objective. But you will have to wait a couple of paragraphs for that. Wait. You cannot ski the next couple. It leads up to the third.

You were not beautiful. You were crying. You were very naughty and mischievous. You knew nothing. You were not well-behaved and were only five-sensed. But, you had them, Your father and mother. They taught you everything. hey took care of you, each and every moment. They made you, human. They protected you from anything and everything, that they felt is bad for you. All these in turn for, Absolutely Nothing for themselves. The relationship can be that between a parent and a child. But, what is that bond? I' ll wait.

You were not exactly adaptable or co-operative. you were a loner and self-conscious. You were an introvert and unreliable. And you were in a problem. You never asked her. But, there she was. To help you out of the problem, to solve it together, to give you a shoulder to cry. To laugh when you laugh, and console, when you cry. To enjoy each and every moment with you. You can call her your friend or your wife. But then, what do you call the bond between you? I' ll wait,

You neither had a job, nor any money. You had nothing to do, but beg and nowhere to go, but the streets. On a rainy day, an old man, with grey hair and a black umbrella, finds you under a tree. He knows, money was not the only thing, you did not have. He took you to his house. Gave you some food and money. He wished you Good luck and waved a Bye. When you see those coins, You know it was not the only thing he gave you. He taught you what affection means. he can be a perfect stranger and your relationship, lasted for only a few minutes, but what is that which made him to do so? I' ll wait.

Not only these. There are a thousand situation and a thousand relationships that share this bond. Love. Now, I ask you, "What is Love?". You can hardly close your mouth, but shout, It is to Take Care, Be Protective, Show Affection, Empathize, Help when needed and Stay together. A relationship, need not have to exist for years to show this love. When you donate a coin to a beggar, you love him. You smile at a road-side kid, you love him. You said a comforting word to a stranger, you love him. You helped a blind man, cross the road, you love him.

Its very easy to understand Love, just Love. When you ask yourself, what have you been searching all life? Money, fame, what else? You find that its Love. Help others find it, you will find yours.
