Thoughts on love...Part2
For all that I talk about love, or the message about love that my poems might convey,I do not believe in true love. From a purely practical perspective, what is love but hormones at work, from a psychological perspective, what is love but an attraction, a phase everyone goes through. Maybe its a name we give for a basic need, a need for companionship, the need to be with someone. So what we believe to be love is but all these wordily things, misinterpreted as something divine?Or is it?
These questions have no definitive answers. No answer that would be just right. Similar is the dilemma regarding a bigger issue , the question about the existence of a supreme being, or God.
Despite all the scientific logic and rationale, whenever we are in the slightest trouble, what is the first thing that comes to our mind?Yes, its God.
Its this belief that helps millions carry on with their lives, in the hope that their is a higher being, a being who would guide them through their struggles, a being whose presence reinforces the fact that good would ultimately lead to good, a being whose presence makes us think twice before committing anything wrong. So, if a belief does so much good, does it matter whether it actually exists or not?
Similar is the case with love. True love, as a pristine concept may not exist. But if a belief helps
people make better individuals out of themselves, gives them the hope to live, gives them something to look forward to, then like God, does it really matter if it exists or not?
It does exist. It has to exist.
