LOVE IS AN ENNOBLING FORCE

Love is an Ennobling Force
No person or for that matter any creature in this universe can sustain or live happily without Love. The Love, which was more misunderstood than properly understood, has that tremendous force of making this earth a heavenly space.

In my view, anyone can live without god, parents, relatives, friends, money etc. but life without love is unimaginable. Love encompasses all our life and it may be visible or invisible. We may think that we are not loved by anybody but without love it is simply impossible to live at all. We receive love from many sources in life which we can recognize if we are conscious. As per one study, at least 5 people in this world love you so much they would die for you. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
The area or stretch of love is always very wide. But some people try to limit it to the love between young people of opposite sex. It is not so. I may love parents, brother, nature, etc. Some others may love some other people or things. There are instances of people sacrificing their lives for the sake of their love to their mother land or for their passion towards arts, politics or culture which they loved dearly. But when it comes to people the emotions towards each other comes into picture. Here we are dealing with the love among human beings.

In my view, it is great to be loved by others than loving others. Of course, a person who can’t love others can never be loved by others. Also the love towards one person can’t be competed with others. You can’t or shouldn’t put one love against the other. The mothers love towards her children can’t be competed or put against her love towards her husband or parents.

Hence it is clear that once you start understanding the true love and love somebody, you can’t hate others.

A person who can’t love himself also can’t love others. Love should start from one’s own self. One should have the courage to love one’s own self. Because it is our love towards our own character and image that is going to reflect our personality that attracts others towards us. If we are not confident of our own values, character or behavior etc. we can not expect to love others or be loved by others.

What is love? I feel that love is such a thing that can’t be expressed in words but only in thoughts and deeds. Simply telling that I love so and so person will not do that. It must be followed by our deeds. The most inspiring words I came across w.r.t. love are;

“Love lives by giving and forgiving.
Self lives by getting and forgetting.
Selfless Love should be the basis of any relationship.”

I feel that by this we can inculcate how to love (by giving and forgiving) in all the people and make this world filled with love.

If there is love and even if nothing else is there, the world will be free from all evils of poverty, corruption, hatred, violence etc. If love is there it will heal all our mental ills. It will solve almost all the problems faced by the present society. Some people loot the public money out of greed and keep them in Swiss banks. If they learn to live by loving others, that public money would have helped us to eradicate poverty long long ago.

All persons in life might have one day or other experienced the effect of love. A small lovely word, lovely touch or a lovely look might have helped us to overcome difficulties and enjoyed life. Let the same thing be reciprocated from all of us to make others also happy at all times.

The love of Mother Theresa, the love of Mahatma Gandhi and the love of many legendaries has changed the course of many countries as well as individuals.

Let people do not believe in God, it doesn’t matter much. But all should learn and enjoy loving for Love is the ennobling force that cures all types of evils and helps us to live happily and letting others also live happily along with us.
Some saying says:

It takes a minute to find a special person, An hour to appreciate them, A day to love them, But then an entire life to forget them. Let us take the time... to live with love.
