first 2 days of chinese new year over liao le.. had 2 steamboats in 3 days.. so sian liao le.. hais.. den tmr have to go back to school already.. happenings over the past days has made me think and really think what love actually is.. what love might actually mean and the seriousness of love...
dictionary defines the word love as an intense feeling of deep affection or attachment be it for something or someone.. well.. it also depends on how one understands this word.. i daresay that with this word comes a huge responsibility therefore it cannot be abused..
unconditional love: God's love for us is unconditional. He died on the cross for our sins so that our sins could be washed away. A love that is not subject to any conditions....
materialistic love: a love of someone's assets but not person... this could only happen to those who see materials on earth as most important.. but to me.. i find that happiness is the most important in life.. and loving someone of his assets but not of that someone.. is not happiness....
puppy love: well.. some might not know what this is.. its actually love for the fun of loving.. which leads it to nowhere! it will just die down someday.. and in the end, u are just toying wif the other party's feelings..
haha.. i dun exactly know what others there might be.. but looking at just "love" itself, it comes from your parents, your relatives and maybe even your friends. all of which are priceless.. to be able to have someone who loves u is already a gift from God.. or not in any religious context, its your fortune.. love might not necessarily mean possession..to me.. love is giving the person u love more than receiving from the person u love.. and how many of us actually do have that kind of feeling towards someone? besides families and relatives.. friends! and very few people can differentiate from friends of the opposite sex and girlfriends and boyfriends.. to me.. love is seeing the person you love being happy and making him/her happy..
with love comes huge responsibility...his/her happiness will be in your hands.. and many a times alot of us just tend to shirk or even disregard this responsibility... which makes us very irresponsible..
all of the above might have been too much from my point of view.. but yea.. its my point of view so dun take it too harshly..
i wonder why am i saying all this stuff too..
sighx.. to all people out there...... live your life to its fullest.. live it happily.. do things happily.. and u will live happily..
u might think you know whats love.. but lemme tell u..
never underestimate the power and authenticity of love
