Shades Of Love

Shades of love:-

Love is a very simple word. It comes very casually to human heart and is a natural mundane emotion. Love wasn’t discovered or invented like fire or any medicine ; it existed inside human hearts even before they realised. It is passed on from mother to child and so on very naturally.

 

Every other relation on this earth and probably beyond, exhibits a force of attraction towards each other very naturally. It encompasses a range of strong and positive emotional and mental states, an interpersonal affection. Love towards one’s child is in every way different from love towards one’s spouse. Love is an unannounced affection or rather emotion that doesn’t have to take account of anyone’s age or gender .

Ancient Greek Philosophers identified six forms of love: essentially Starge, Philia, Eros, Philsutia, Xenia, Agape.

Love is a relative term . For some, all it could mean is the feeling of closeness , connectedness, and bondedness in loving relationships. For some it could be the beauty of the little things whereas for some other it could be nothing but physical intimacy. Love can take one to any extent. And hence love of any form is superiorly pure and blissful.

 

At times people forget the basic factor of love and get more focussed on the legacy, the known unannounced laws. A girl should necessarily marry a boy and vice versa. In a legal marriage , socially it is expected that the bride should be younger than the groom. The laws of nature which got no scientific basis are blindly followed; whereas love is meant to be blind, and not us.

Winged Cupid is painted blind as a symbol that love doesn’t depend on how we look or where we belong to; instead, it is a divine connection of the souls of two individuals. Souls don’t have a voice or gender.  A soul is defined by it’s way of approach rather than how long it’s hair is , and the level of masculinity in it.

Homophobia is no less than a deadly infection these days. Homosexual people trying to live a normal life but are in every way subsided by the so called “Normal Section” of the society. Homosexual marriages are not granted a good position even in today’s world where marriage is a mere luxury as living in with your partner is more relevant . If “general” people do not need any approval or validation from the society to live together why do homosexual people need too much of approval from the people around them to do what they want to. This is also very much a form of love .Just because the gender of the person is same doesn’t mean that love traverses down in any form.

Sometimes we find love in people with whom we have no blood connection but they make up a very important part of our lives. These connections got no name . It can be between any two persons . It can be between a girl and a boy or two girls or two boys or even between someone aged and someone young. Not connected by blood connection but connected by hearts is a form of connection too ;Sometimes deeper than blood relations.

 

Recent years have seen the increase in love for animals of humans. This is a very affectionate form of love . Whereas there are people enough in this world to prove why the innocent animals are not meant for this cruel world ,there are other people who can donate their lives for their pet’s cause. They practically treat it like any other human being, Catching up the doctor when it’s unwell, and crying and being helluva depressed when an animal passes away.

 

Love as a concept as previously mentioned is subject to change pertaining to the definition assigned by the people concerned. It does have different shades and every shade or form of it is equally relevant and equally pure and holy.

 

Thus I would like to conclude on this note that “Love no matter of which form should be accepted with equal priority and equal respect “

 

“True love is a liberating force.”
