Love

Perhaps the greatest force in our world is the power of Love. It is not controlled by anyone, and can wander freely on its own, fulfilling some people's greatest wishes, and leaving others in a desparate and bleak solitude. There exist many different types of love within our world. There exists the love members of a family can exhibit, the love that two romantic figures share, and the love that exists within the deepest parts of kinship. This writing portion will primarily cover the love exhibited between two people in the world, who by some twist of fate, manage to find one another in a world where companionship benefits those who wield it, and where a partner is often times the best remedy for any problem.

I believe that when two people fall in love, and I mean truly in love, a bond is created between the two which links them together in a web of understanding and passion. No empirical evidence exists to state how many of the married couples or life partners in the world are equipped with such love, however the figure I assure you is low. If you watch, you can see. It only takes but one pair of vigilant eyes and consistent watching to witness that the love between two people is not true, it is not pure, and it is not the highest potential love that can exist between two people.

It is not about finding the perfect person. There does not exist a perfect person for everyone in the World. Rather, you must find a person in your life who you feel a connection to - a mutual bond. This, in turn, will potentially grow, with much hard work, in to something which can then be considered love. Once this love is obtained, it is up to the two wielding it to cultivate it, to cherish it, and to treat it with such a delicacy, as if it is the last remaining life force of the entire planet. Love is too often times thrown around as if it were stable and unbreakable, when in actuality it should never be tampered or treated in such a way.

When two individuals fall in love, they must share a deep level of understanding, to the point where they are able to feel for themselves their particular partner's emotions. If their loved one is in distress, then they are too, for they are both one in the same person. Happiness between them is exuded forth from their hearts, and it spreads between the two, an unconquerable sensation of eloquence and beauty. The smile of one, forces a smile upon the other, and the tears of one, strike compassion in the heart of the other. Without such caring, and without such a level of understanding and care, the optimal level of love cannot, and will not exist.

The most important thing to notice about such love with another person, is that you should never seek it. It does not hide from you, and thus you should not try and look for it. It will present itself when the time is right, and you will be given the opportunity to obtain it, to grasp it with all of your being, and allow it to synthesize with your soul, to create something which every person longs for: love.

Love, of course, can be lost, like all things in life. Losing love is perhaps the greatest tragedy which can befall a human being. The heartbreak and pain accompanied with such an event often times causes some people to never love again. However, each heart has the capability within it to heal, over time, with the help of friends and family. The experience of love - the saying 'tis better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all' - is something which every person should have the opportunity at some point in their life to have as their own. Whether from a mother, a father, a brother, a sister, a pet, a friend, or a partner, love will always exist within this world. It will spring upon you when you least expect it, and you will be in such a surprised state, that you will not take time to think, but simply be swept in to the flow which each day carries people to and from one thing to the next - and before you know it - you, too, will be in love.
