On Love

Love – a timeless topic. Much has been said and just as much has been written. A never-ending topic of materials for songs, novels and poems. Hearing love portrayed in a song, or reading about it in novels makes one wants to immerse oneself in this sweet, delightful, and magical feeling call love.

But what is love exactly? Love is an emotion which is part of the human build up. It is an intense feeling of liking for a person or an object. Love has many forms. There is romantic love, parental love, sibling love … Then there is love between friends, and there is the all-encompassing compassionate love for all beings and living things.

Since love is an emotion, and we know that emotions can be controlled, love can also be controlled. Rein in your emotions. A sensible, practical attitude, and approach will allow you to enjoy this warm, fuzzy feeling call love, be it in giving or receiving – again and again.
