About Love and being Loved....

Its really amazing how three seemingly simple words can bring about a whirlwind of change in your being. They can alter your perspective on life, your opinions and beliefs about yourself and others. They can arouse in you genuine joy and gratitude. Or maybe not! What I state above are my personal reactions.

We should feel wonderful when someone says to You, "I love you!" You'll wanna dance and sing and laugh and cry all at once. We might feel like if U leapt out of the window right then, U'd surely be able to fly. We appreciate it when Our family says it to us everyday, that's for sure, but its a different experience altogether, an incomparable thrill when you're given that kind of pedestal from someone who isn't obliged to. They love you because they want to, not because they have to or are supposed to. Choice rather than complusion turns it into an ornate delicacy. Its a delight to realize that your existence is of, at least, some significance to another human - that you've touched the soul of someone and they've in turn tried to touch yours. The liberating intimacy of it is rather spectacular.

I had a friend who always told me that you should never hesistate in telling someone that you love them. In an age where human emotions seems primitive and the world is dominated by angst, egocentricity and desperate quests for pleasure, the most pristine gift you can offer someone is your love. Gems and shining metal lose their sheen before it! Just never defile its sanctity with simulation.

I wish I could somehow open up people to expression. It is strangely gratifying, trust me. If you appreciate someone, go upto them and tell them. Tell them how much you love them and what all you love about them. Worst case scenario, you'll lose nothing but they'll always gain infinitely. Voyeurism isn't happening at all...don't creep out people but honesty is wonderful.

Ah well! I have gotten all didactic again. Pardon my infirmity. I'm in a good mood.

Keep your sun shinin' alwayz
