It is a pleasant feeling to know that there are so many people out there who actually express their love. Yes, we all need love, to give and to receive. However, the irony of life is the two-sided coin. Coins are always two-sided so is everything in the world. We may try to make things perfect but, they are perfect, as they are. We may be scared of darkness and do not really love to roam near windows at night but, that does not mean, we wish for the brightness of the Sun at night, why? Because that will not help you with the sound sleep that darkness of night can give! Not everything you expect can be achieved but, it’s human to expect and it is even more human to say ‘never expect’ and then expect people to believe you!
I have met many people who love their corresponding ones and make sure that they express their love by letting them know about their whereabouts. For example, a simple good morning message once they wake up, a good night message before they sleep and one miss you message, to let them know that even in their busy schedule of work, they remember their beloved one and their beloved has crossed their mind. Such gestures can not only increase the bond but also stands as a reminder to our daily mortal memory. However, love itself has a definition, everything in this world stands with their own definition. Love is usually defined between two people who love each other more than anyone else in this world. Yes, it is not new for my beloved readers to know that love is not limited to just one guy to one girl but, there is something new. People wake up from their sleep and first thing in the morning which they do is, check their cellphones! Did they miss any call? Did they receive any SMS? Or sometimes it is just to check the time whilst the wall clock seems to have been resigned from their room.
After waking up, if they have auto-logged into Facebook or Twitter, they first let the world know about the beginning of their morning and then proceed with their daily work but, how many of you have actually thought that we are not just limited to Facebook and bound into ‘virtually’ social network but, we are also part of the ‘real’ social network called ‘family’. How many of us actually wake up to their parents, touch their feet for blessings and wish them good morning and then proceed to the struggling day with a blessed mind? How many of us will actually wake up without looking at the cellphone but, prefer to first look at the face they should wake up to? Sleep is just like half death, you never know if you will wake up! Or you never know what is on the other side or the dream that you will see, we come across surprises and unpredicted dreams, every single time! We are so much engrossed into our daily lives, from dawn till dusk, all we do is, meet new people, look out for more opportunities and think about what will happen tomorrow whilst just living lesser in the present. We are actually tired and we don’t even notice it.
We need a hug of someone who can make you realise that you are breathing and you are calm. We need a solacing touch which can make us realise that we are surrounded and not alone. A wise man once said, when you think about past, you are anxious, when you think about future, you are curious and when you think about the present, you are conscious! There are many people I see who talk somewhat similar and later ask their beloved, ‘so tell me about how were you when you were young’… and then there are other sects of people who will tell the world about living in the present and then, choose their best insurance plan! Funny are we humans and funnier is the way we think and act.
Life is a limited, one-time offer, friends, never let it waste. All we need is love. Love is an expression and not just a word, expressions can never be defined just like how Sun expresses its warmth to all of us, early in the morning, it does not judge, it does not bias; similarly, love does not judge and it does not bias. Sun does not fall prey to whether it will rise again tomorrow nor does it believe in forever mortality, love is somewhat like that, it is as it is and so are we! Here for everyone and with everyone, though, just for a little while.
