Life ...(sequel of Love and Life )

Used to call my existence as life and would wonder how could I extract the best out of it. But over time, with a series of setting suns and blurring moons, I realized what I had was mere a collection of some biological processes and it was ‘me’ who needed to add life to those. I learnt that life could not be anyone’s gift to you, it rather is bestowed on you by yourself.

Life is a challenge, it is a measure of how worthy you make your existence to be, for others to acknowledge your presence and feel your absence and for yourself to be happy with what you are. It demands from one to be practical enough to survive through the lashes of reality and emotional enough to not let-go unheard the beats of those loving hearts.

They call life as ‘a blessing’ as long as they get what they desire, and name it ‘a curse’ when either they lose or they don’t gain what they want. They tend to ignore the fact that life is what they make it like.

Not that I advocate accepting what comes to you, but then you cannot even decide what the next moment should bring to you. All you can do is a little chiseling, take what comes and mould that into what you wanted. If even best of your efforts fail to attain that goal then probably you need to redefine your goals because sometimes we need to fall down to bounce back higher. Let not anything hamper your love for life. Remind yourself every now and then that you are here to ‘live’ not to simply ‘exist’.

LOVE AND LIFE

Yeah I know I am talking about the two most tagged words in blogosphere. The most talked about, most thought about, most experimented, most frequently defined words…. yet there remains something still to be explored. The deeper one digs to reach the roots, deeper it keeps demanding the search to go. Not that I am here to give that final touch to what I may call the ultimate contemplation of these enigmatic aspects of our existence, just wanted to add another drop to the ocean… :).

Love: Yet another emotion…but a little tricky and complex one. It may be the reason for one to smile and for the other to cry, for one to struggle to survive and for the other to pray to die, for one to come out with the best in oneself and for the other to ruin his/her life. In the end, it’s not ‘love’ responsible for what comes out to be. As they say, the sun that hardens the clay, also melts the ice. It is then your choice what you chose to be, the clay or the ice!

Love strengthens every relationship. It combats all the forces working towards disintegrating the relationships, or in other words, it becomes the only reason to hold on despite the prevailing differences. When love becomes a reason for your fall, then it’s probably not because of ‘love’ but lack of your faith in love. 

We tend to define things as we see them like. We define love as ‘trust and care’ when we find our lovers doing so, or when we treat our beloveds like that. We call love as ‘pain’ when we get the same from our lovers or when we see our beloveds in tears. 

According to me, love (in two people) is an emotion that results from the compatibility of their other emotions. If one’s pain is felt by the other, one’s joys are enjoyed by the other, one’s fear is understood by the other, one’s dreams are encouraged by the other, etc., .. then ‘love’ gets added to the list.
