I appreciate the law of nature as it goes, in
every action there is an opposite and equal reaction (Newton’s 3rd
Law of Motion). How’s that possible in dealing with the subject - Love? Is it
true that Hate is the opposite of Love?
Knowing what it feels, how it feels enable me to
validate the unspoken words that my heart wants to recognize.
Lately, I went to visit Cupid (Latin Cupīdō,
meaning "desire"). He is often portrayed as the son of the love
goddess Venus and the war god Mars. He is also known in Latin as Amor
("Love"). As I try to examine his bow and arrow, then I realized how
it works. When Love strikes, it happens like a lightning. Bang! Boom! It
collides. Out of billions of people in the world, chances are whether you will
be hit or not. How’s the intensity, will it differs if you will be hit
instantly or gradually? One thing I know is for sure, if you don’t feel it,
then you don’t have it.
It all began if you recognize it. There is a piece
of invisible wood (an arrow) that strikes into your heart. Piercing deep within
you. It’s like there’s an intangible matter that occupies a space in your heart.
You cannot see it but you can feel it. No one force you to have it there, it
suddenly sits and rests without you knowing it grows. Like a sturdy tree from a
tiny seed. You may want to pull it out but it will take you a great effort to
remove it. More so, it may cause you to bleed.
Once it was acknowledged, that seed, that tree
will bear fruit. That’s the law of nature. A child is a fruit of love, full of
love, not an accident. It is the union, a by-product of two people chose to ‘make
love’. When two individuals are full of love, they share a common kind of love,
an overflowing love that is mutual and beneficial. It suddenly happen, as the 3rd
law of motion strongly prevails. The man brings to a woman a seed to bear in a
fertile land. As it grows, the woman felt something from nothing. If a child is
a fruit of their love, that kind of fruit is something you want to take care
of. Nourish and love. No wonder there such a thing called perfect love. A perfect
love that drives out fear. A fear that is selfless. A fear called pain that can
conquer death to life. Because there is love, a fruit of love, there is pain.
No love, no pain. More love, more pain if it’s lost.
The gift of love is amazing. A miracle. Unfathomable.
Unstoppable. No one knows when it strikes. Because a man and a woman is just
but a human, it feels. Recognizing that something will help you to determine whether
the gift of love is there. Some people know it once it’s gone simply because
they fail to recognize it. Others appreciate it and chances are, it will
momentarily stay. This is what they called unrequited love that defies the 3rd
law of motion. Though it is far from perfect (love); for me it is unselfish.
Why? Because, it allows the person to be happy without asking something in
return. It makes him or her happy seeing other person’s happiness even if he or
she is not part of it. That’s selfless. For
him or her, there is no effort to pull it out (the gift of love) because in due
time, it will go.
Reflecting love, isn’t it true that no more pain,
no more love? I believe so. If people are no longer affected by any external
circumstances that cause him or her pain, it means that love transcends only into
but memories. Memories that will make the person smile and grateful ever. No
hate but pure love because in those moment of his own life or her life, it makes him or her
happy. =)
