Sometimes, people get confuse with being in-love with the person or just in-love with LOVE itself. A person who will turn the world upside down for the sake of another person is in-love with that person. Or is he/she? Love has a very complicated definition. It can be define as a strong emotional attachment to another individual. It can be define as a deep feeling of sexual desire and attraction. An expression to one’s affection, and many more meanings we can’t even comprehend in a deeper level. Oftentimes, we mistake loving love rather than loving the person itself. We love for the sake of LOVE. Tsk, tsk!
Now that the annual big event is coming, we are beginning to prepare presents, surprises, items that we think our loved-ones desire. We tend to choose things that would cost much because we thought our love can be measured by the value of the stuff we give. We are being blinded for loving love. We offer expensive gifts for the sake of the celebration, for the sake of the occasion we used to celebrate. We really doesn’t prepare for the ones we love but for the occasion.
For me, love really is a non-definite hollow, you may fill lots and lots of substance in it, and it will never be fully filled. It has no boundary, no meaning. It’s just an empty word in a wide space, crammed up with junks. We are the one who named it, but I’m not so sure if all of us really understand it.
Loving a person is a big deal and we could never love another being if we won’t start loving ourselves first. This coming VALENTINES DAY, I hope we already understood the true meaning of LOVE.
If I were you, I will ask this question first before committing to love someone.
Do I really love this person? Or I’m just in love with love?
