Love

Everybody in the whole world always talk about love. And people find love in a different way, from a first sight, from introduction via friends, a meeting and so on. You won’t believe it when finally you find a true love, a love that you will grab it and not let it go.
But how can we prove the true love? You can describe love like stars in the sky, it’s beautiful, but it’s too high to grab. You also can describe it like a rose flower, it’s beautiful, but it’s also dangerous because of its thorn. Usually love is described as something beautiful, but sometimes it is also described as something can hurt us, so it is dangerous too. So we can prove the true love when we make a bond with someone we believe to become a couple for rest of their life.
Love (Arabic: mahabah) is doing something but no hoping for reward. Do you think to do something sincerely is easy? I don’t think so because we must omit the egoism, individualism and materialism in ourselves. We have to realize that we live together with other people on the same planet, so we must share what we can do to everybody who needs our helps. As long we can help the other people, you do it sincerely, then you can understand what love is.
I have ever heard a song sung by George Benson, “The Greatest Love of All”. It is a nice song and I really like it. The song tells about the love inside our selves, learning to love our selves is the greatest love of all. Of course it is not about narcissism but with loving our selves, it will create a love for everybody.
I believe you know the definition of love with your own words. So tell me, I want to know what love is.
