Love is not fleeting feeling. You cannot love a person this instance and not love him/her the next. It does not go away. It is forever. It wanes which may be due to some conflicts or arguments, but it’s never completely gone. You might not be together for the longest time, but you are still loving this person. It doesn’t flee at the sight of infidelity or even hatred. It stays despite the hate, the doubts, and the sarcasm. If the feeling doesn’t stay, it is not love at all.
Love is a happy powerful feeling. This happiness, however, is from within. Not from the other person you love. When you love, you touch others. You influence them to share their own love. You make them feel more loved. You are happy with yourself because you were able to add meaning to another person’s life and the other person was able to add meaning to yours. You are happy with yourself because you are growing beautifully as a person.
Love makes the people, who feel’s it, grow. Every experience, whether good or bad, makes us grow. Love allows us to feel this rush and gush of happy powerful emotions that it would be necessary to displace them to our surroundings. You are like seeds being loved and taken cared of to grow, and to bear fruit and/or beautify the world.
Love is sacrificial. When you love, it is inevitable to sacrifice – your time, your life. Though love is a happy powerful feeling, it sometimes turns sour, and then the people separate. You can sacrifice your happiness and feelings, but still continue loving the other person. The separation or distance is never the hindrance of love. In here, the main sacrifice is loving despite the absence of the person you are loving. When you sacrifice, it should be whole-heartedly, you should be happy sacrificing for this person. Yes, it may be a bit difficult, but you should be happy bearing this difficulty.
