"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love." - Sophocles
There seems to be no complete and accepted definition of love, even today. What exactly is love? Can it be summed up in few words or sentences? Perhaps NO! Love is a very complicated, inexplicable, and sublime feeling, that is beyond definition. The experience and feeling of love is different for everybody.
Love opens the gates of happiness to all those who fall in love. Love has many shades and stages. Love is a strange feeling. You never know where and when you'll find love. You cannot predict love or get love forcefully. It just happens. Love has no boundaries. Love is all encompassing, heavenly, unconditional, ethereal, madness, crazy, sacrificing, and above all--suffering! When in love, we cannot escape the tears and the pain it brings with it. But there is hope and triumph in that pain. Look at the eternal love stories of celebrated lovers--Romeo and Juliet, Anthony and Cleopatra, Laila-Majnu, Heer-Ranjha, Othello and Desdemona, Samson and Delilah, Sohni and Mahiwal, or countless others, who have made their love eternal with their sacrifices and courage.
As Mark Twain has said, "Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired", love makes us do the craziest of things and fills us with insatiable desire. Love makes one a better human being.The world seems a better place to live, when you are in love. Every day seems a new day full of promise and every moment looks bright. Love is an enigma; love makes life confusing, but still we can't help falling in love; without love we cannot live at all.
Speaking about love, I can go on and on...without stopping:) But it is virtually a very difficult emotion to explain...something not restricted within words.
So what's your opinion about LOVE? Come share it with me!

Love the choice of your love songs too..
Being in love means being lightened by both side of the sun.
Love heals, love empowers and love withstand the test of time.
