Hello Steemians,
In my childhood, I was very obsessed with toy cars. I liked the other toys too but I was more into cars so much that I can't resist my self and immediately start playing with it or just open it and try to see it's mechanism. I don't know how many of you had that interest in your childhood of knowing about how toys work and all, but I did that with every toy I got as long as I remember. Is that you called love?
If I see it as an child then yes, it was my love for those toy cars. But if I see it as an adult, it's just an luv of a child for his new toys (Let's call attraction as luv). Once he gets an another toy, his luv immediately gets shifted on that new one.
In our whole life, most of the time we act like a child. No matter how older we get but we still react in that exact same manner for everything as a child do. We try to get what attracts us, we cry if we don't get it, once we get it we completely get lost in it and once we reached the bottom of it - we leave it and try to find our another luv.
We might have felt that same feeling of getting drained by constantly getting involved in our luv (money, name, fame, attractions) and might have tried a lot not to get into that madness again. But due to lack of courage or willingness to find our own path, we settle down for the easy ways like the most of the people do. We follow the trend.
So what the hell is LOVE then? And how do we get it? Let me tell you an another story.
One day in the garden, a young boy proposed a girl but she refused by saying you're not handsome and she left. He got sad and started walking on his way. Suddenly he noticed an old guy trying to pick some flowers but he couldn't because he was sitting on his wheelchair. He immediately went there and picked some flowers for him. That old guy said with a smile, "thank you handsome" and went away.
The young boy got overwhelmed. He realised his mistake that how desperately he was running behind his Luv but not Love. He went to his home with some flowers and gifts and gave it to his mom. He realized that how much his mother really loves him without expecting anything in return and he ignored it for a long time. But now he knows that, True Love doesn't see the outer things (attractions) but it likes whatever we are from the inside - our feelings, connections and our characteristics. He might not handsome but he knows how to give a hand to someone (that old guy) and "A good heart with an ugly face is much better than a good face with an ugly heart".
Love doesn't needs our attention but it needs our care. It doesn't empty us but it fulfill us from within. It doesn't let us jump from one to another, but it settle down us dip into our emotional bondings. It doesn't hold us but it let us keep growing.
Let's find or appreciate real LOVE and try to not getting stuck in LUV for lifetime.
