Do you understand the scale of things happening around you right now? It’s alright if you aren’t, it’s quite easy to lose track sometimes. Rather, finding the right track is what is rare and quite unexpected with life today.
Unless you’ve got love. Someone to hold onto, someone to rely on, someone who you know will take your side no matter what. Somehow, that someone managed to make you feel that either your life’s on the right track all the time, or it doesn’t matter if it isn’t. That someone, my friend, is quintessential to happiness.
Love and money are a lot alike. They’re most important to people who don’t have them. And people who have them in plenty often end up misusing or not knowing their worth. The only difference, one is finite in this universe.
Understanding love requires a lot of effort. Not that the idea is difficult, it is what the idea stands for. This is not something you can read off the pages of a yellowing, ageing tome and grasp with the sheer power of your mind. It is an experience. It might make you happy, sad, content, hateful, considerate, selfish – but it will, for sure, make you feel. And that is what love truly is all about.
Have you ever taken an injection? That moment of trepidation, despite knowing that it will be over in a minute, and you’ll feel foolish – that defines the whole idea of doctors being scary to people. That is somewhat like how love feels. I know, probably doesn’t make sense, but then that’s what its all about.
P.S True love is a whole different ball game. In fact, I am not entirely sure the phrase is valid.
