Yesterday, goin' through my extremely boring facebook account, I found a very funny group. It wasn't supposed to be comic and it actually wasn't even close. But my perception was that this person, who has created the page, has no understanding of Love.
The group's name was,"I Can Live Without Oxygen, But Not You."
Right! As if the world did not have enough issues, we have one more. Living without you, or with you, or with anyone for that matter, because we're desperate souls. Thank you, for the reminder *sarcasm alert*
Shallowness in the world, lack of the true understanding of who you are and the constant need of having someone near because you are not even near of being self-confident, could most probably be the reason behind such weird ideas. Reality is; you can't live without oxygen, even if you pay to do so. But you can live without someone because its possible both in physical and practical sense. The extra-efficiency shown by such people is what ruins the whole idea of being in love; at least for me, it does. And I just cannot help but be agitated over those groups and ending up spamming their walls with my realistic ideas. Normally, the wall posts get deleted. But sometimes, the admin takes a minute or two to insult the living daylights out of me and to tell me that I am a heartless, senseless person with no understanding of such a sacred feeling; Love.
Heartless, you said? All right. I might be. Because I dont have the whole idea of making tens of thousands of phone calls a day to someone who belongs to the opposite gender. I dont believe in creating fan pages with photographs of hugs and kisses and begging my fans to 'like' them. And I sure, as anything, do not believe in making my feelings public. If that's heartless, then I would pass the test of heartlessness with an A+. Better than what I did in English Class of High School.
If you are a regular follower of my blog, you'd definately be aware of my ideas about this subject. But today, I felt like there is much more to love then words. There is a divinity in this word. Something beyond human mind and ability to define.
Love has always been a fascination to me. I admire poets like Rumi who wrote for Love of the CREATOR. Their thoughts are not like average human beings. Simple words creating a classic beauty. Admirable, truly admirable. And thats one of the many concepts of love I actually follow. The Divine Love! It doesnt need words, has no boundaries, and it'll live till eternity, for real. Unlike the love of 21st century, that begins with adding someone on facebook and ends with blocking the person who was once the love of your life. Many of us can relate to it, I am sure!
The sad part is, I believe, people are lost. They don't have an ambition in their life, have absolutely no clue what they are going to make of the opportunities that are lying in front of them, staring constantly with wide-open arms just so they would accept them. The lack of ability to understand the value of one's self and talents is what makes people so shallow and void. They are unable to absorb the true reality of life, which is most of the times harsh and rough for such fragile souls. They find refuge in feelings like love, hate, affection. But what they forget is; life is beyond such empty feelings!
The point is; we need to understand who we truly are. What is the purpose of our life. Why did ALLAH create us, and not someone else in our place?
If a musician is born to do music, he would never feel satisfied studying Medicine.
If a doctor is born to serve people, he'd never be able to sit infront of an LCD screen for 10 hours creating and working on software.
Humans are born with an aim in life. All we got to do is, look for it. And not end up being emotionally disturbed because we were too busy "living without oxygen".
We need to sort out the difference between surviving our lives and the survival with dignity. There is a thin line between being emotionally attached and emotionally relying on somebody. Our life demands more than just relying on someone else's existence. It demands creativity, effort, using the time carefully, and the urge to become successful. Our life demands a purpose, find it!

belongs to the garden of Paradise,
Is it fair to let yourself
fall apart in a shattered house" - Rumi

interesting !
ReplyDeletewell i can agree with u somehow and there is a scale for love that goes form reasonable to exaggeration.. however, isn't that what make love sweet, the unreadability !..and what's more generosity and predilection then to see someone's life as important as yours if not more.. wouldn't u like to have someone like that ?!
anyway, i might disagree with u but i really liked the way this was written ..i thought at the beginning it's to tall ..but i found it interesting and captivating to read every line .

first of all, thank you for reading it :)
ReplyDeleteAnd then, thanks for the comment. Truly appreciated!
Someone like that..
Well, I dont know actually :) Who doesnt want that? But, if you take a look at my blog's previous posts, I wrote a topic "Love is a responsibility.."
My thoughts about it keep changing according to my mood and days, but my basic point of view is, be rather in love with the person who lives under the same roof as yours, the spouse, then wasting your feelings for someone who is never gonna be yours.
You may find this thought really un-typical, but I have always believed that IF I ever do give a right to someone over my life, it'd be the man who's gonna spend his rest of my life with me. Not some shallow random guy who would love me more than oxygen :)
And one thing; Priorities. Right now, my priority is to make a life, a successful one, for myself! When I am done doing that, I'll see if someone is there written in my fate or not. :)
