Love..

What is LOVE??

- Is it sweet or is it sour?

- Is it soothing or is it turbulent?

- Is it something you should look for or is it something you should run away from?

- Is it real or is it just a sham?

- Is it about making compromises or is about understandings??

- Is it a mutual pact of coexistence or dominance of one over another?

- Does the ‘distance’ really matter?

- Is it vague or crystal clear?

- Is it “made for each other” coming together or about making yourself perfect for the other person?

- Is it about feeling good when you are together or crying out loud when you are not?

- Is it about giving or taking or sharing?

- Is love life or is life love?

I long for an answer because lately I’ve been really confused about it. 

From what I know- 

Love is like Pikachu!! Sometimes its annoying and sometimes it can give you the thunderbolt attacks but at the end of the day its the sweetest and the most adorable thing you have. It has the power to make you happy in the darkest of your days.

Its like a drug and people who are addicted to it know what I'm talking about. The way you feel when you commit to someone is magnificent. Every part of your being craves to be with the other person when you are not together.

Its one of the sweetest feelings that can calm you down in the most arduous days. You cannot see it but you sure can feel it and its as real as you and me and everything around us. It feels good to know that someone has faith in you and it makes you want to be a better human being. Its appealing, its pleasant, its  sane, its holy. 

I would like to end it with a quote that I undoubtedly believe in.

"Love is always patient & kind

It is never jealous

Love is never boastful or conceited

It is never rude or selfish

It doesn’t take offense & isn’t resentful

Love take no pleasure in other people’s sins but delights in the truth

It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope & to endure.....whatever comes”

This is the easiest that I can explain. If you have a different point of view please comment :)

Expectations

Expectations : Root cause of misery.

Expect something from someone, he/she lets you down, you feel bad, you end up being sad.

When you start expecting from someone you give him/her the power to influence you, your feelings, your mind, your human nature and everything around you. For example -you expect a friend to call on your birthday but he doesn’t, you expect a friend to inform you first about something but he doesn’t at all, you expect to be someone’s closest friend but then you realize that you are not even counted in the “good friends”.

When you come to know about this it can totally piss you off and its okay, after all you had your reasons to expect from the other person. There must be some kind of relationship that you guys have. It all can be justified.

I’ve done my part. In the end nothing happened. I ended up infuriated. I just learnt from my own mistakes - don’t expect from others. It’ll get you nothing except pain, sorrow, anger, exasperation and aggravation.

Most of the people won’t even consider that you’ve done something for them. For them its just a trifle favor which can easily be repaid. Do something for others, help them but don’t expect anything in return.

Crossroads

Crossroads play a very important role in a person’s life, in determining what he is gonna do and what he is gonna be. Its funny to realize that your one decision can completely change what you are. Your whole life depends on your decisions. Not on the path you chose but on the path you abandon. What would have happened if you would have done the other thing? This is a question which we usually ask ourselves (at least I do) but the thing is that we’ll never come to know what would have happened. Life takes different turns in different circumstances. People say that things would have been better if you would have done the other thing but it doesn’t work like that. You can take your bloody head off but you won’t come to know what you’ve missed. Every decision comes with its own consequences - its experiences, punishments and rewards. It depends on you if you like it or not. Actually the rewards and punishments don’t matter. The only thing that stays with you is the experience. Thats what you can talk about, thats what you can pass on to other people, thats what matters.

If you clear your head and try to analyze it life gets really simple and decisions even simpler. Every crossroad has a simple answer and you know it without exception - you want it or you don’t, you wanna go or you wanna stay, you wanna live or you wanna die. In the two options one is right and the other is wrong. Most of us take the easy way out because the other one is too damn hard. I don’t think theres any harm in taking the easy way. The only difference is that if you take the harder path the reward is better and by reward i mean the experience of hardships. Its like Robert Frost says -

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I

 I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference."

What exactly is the author trying to say here? He is just telling us that since he took the path which most of the people leave - that being the right or the hard one - he has something different and more exciting to tell us. Exploration, getting to know something new - thats what life is all about. Take the harder way and trust me you’ll be more satisfied than any other person in the whole World.
