Love?

Well....i'll just share a little here. about what i feel about life yea? It was this little time in the night when my mind just came to a halt and started thinking about stuffs. What is Love? somehow we all tend to know the answer about love and all....Love is kind, patient, not rude, doesn't boast, doesn't want what that belongs to others, blablabla....

But when you're in love, or when you're out of love, its a whole different thing all together. dun u tink so? There's a difference between the phrases of "madly in love", "in love" and "out of love".

When you're so madly in love, u tend to go "ga-ga" over that gurl/guy u're so much into and nothing else matters except them. This is so the wrong. ReAlly childish love if you're mature enough to see it properly. And if ever your partner ever dumps you, your whole world comes crashing down. You go through emotional breakdown, physical sickness, spiritual warfare and all those crappy stuff. So whoever that wanna get in love, don't be so "ga-ga" over it. It sucks. And it doesn't last. My friend of mine gave me this little story which is really meaningful....(in a way)

---> Love = Chewing Gum. Why?
This is cause when u start loving, starting a NEW relationship, everything seems SUPER SWEET, SUPER COOL, SUPER FUN, SUPER NICE. Its like gum. When its new, its sweet, fun, delicious, tasty. However, after awhile, the gum loses its flavour, loses its aroma, loses its texture, loses its taste. And slowly, slowly, u tend to spit it out. And there goes the relationship. Pretty puppy lovie type eh?

Now the best part.....
"real love". As said earlier, love is patient, kind, doesn't boast and blablabla.....But is love just that? 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 says : "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

This is love. But there's more! FOR ME, i believe, love is far more than this. Yes this is love based on the Scripture. However, i believe love not only lies upon those facts but also on other facts. Love on the other hand, is also known as SACRIFICE....
Love = Sacrifice. No two lovers can be together for long if there is no mutual sacrifice between each other. Probably there could be, but its one in a million.

Love is also Understanding, Commitment and Loyalty. Lovers should be understanding, committed and also loyal. Why are there arguments amongst lovers? Not only for the young but the old alike. Usually arguments sparks because that there is no mutual understanding between them, thus, resulting in argument. Its important to know your guy/girl well before entering a relationship with them, you know.

finally as the ULTIMATUM!!!


LOVE = TIME!!!

As the ultimatum, Love = Time. Without time, there can't be love. For instance, how're you gonna get to "tackle" that girl without spending time? Impossible right?
Another example, as a Christian, how can you ever love God without spending time with Him? Its like being a baby in Christ, how can a baby in Christ a.k.a a new-believer, says that he is TOTALLY and MADLY in love with our Father? He believes in Him, yes, but love, takes time to build.
So as application to life, no matter what, lovers ought to spend time together. It doesnt mean that lovers ought to go to fancy-fancy places for their date or what-so-ever. Even a stroll down the park would be GREAT! This is coz what matters most is the TIME. Time is precious, more precious than gold/silver/anything else in the world. That's why, with time, love grows.

Fine, i admit, i've had had experiences. And my mind keeps thinking about this word, LOVE. somehow i don't know why, but LOVE, makes a HUGE impact on me. prob it goes to the same as others as well, but well, who knows?

Anyway, how about falling "out of love"??? This means the "feeling" that was once there is gone? or is subsiding? I don't really know but i know many people who have fallen out of love. Why? Its usually because the lack of those above. E.g : Lack of understanding, Uncommitted, Unloyal, and most importantly, Time that was spent, is either of no quality, or no quantity at all. Now now, we don't wanna fall "out of love" do we?

Well, i'm open to all opinions on this view of mine. You may congratulate me or you may despise me. i'm open to criticisms. =D

P.S = who doesn't wanna be loved? neither does one want to be unloved.
