What is love.....??

This is a difficult question to answer bcz it depends upon the relation we have with the other person. For example, the love  you have for your parents will be different from that you have for your friends or neighbours. But, there are certain common characteristics that can be attributed to any kind of love.

First of all, love strengths the spirit of sharing. You love someone when you are ready to share what you have with him or her. Here you  are forgetting yourself and your selfish motives.

Secondly, love tries to make others person happy. If you love someone you will not do anything that hurts and makes him sad. On the contrary, you will do everything to make him happy and satisfied. 

Thirdly, love is ready to face hardships and suffering. When you love someone you are ready to suffer anything for the one you love.

The wrong concept of love.....!!!

Sometimes, we confuse love as saying certain good words or giving some costly gifts . Surely they are expression of love. But sometimes we may be cheated by it. Somebody may try to make us believe that he loves us just by giving some gifts or speaking some sweet words. Here we can save ourselves only if we have the wisdom to distinguish real love from the false one. Real love can be understood on the basis of sacrifices one is able to make for the other. One may give you expensive gifts on your birthday. He may speak so many good words to make you happy. But his love for you cannot be judged from these expressions. Wait for an occasion where he has to make a sacrifice for you and if he does you can realize that he really loves you.

love is a challenge.....!!!!

It is very easy to say that  you love your parents teachers or friends. But this is not an easy one to practise in daily life. When we love someone we have to sacrifice a number of things for him. Our desires, opinions, wishes and plans are a few things we need to sacrifice for our loving ones. Normally, we want to see the other person behaving just as we like. If he behaves in a different manner we feel hurt and sad. Here we may also think of changing the character and behaviour of that person whom we love someone, we must not try to change him according to our likes and dislikes. Rather, we should accept him as he is. Let us keep in mind that everyone has some kinds of weakness in life. We can really love someone only when we accept him with all these weaknesses.
