What is love? This is a question that I’m sure, many have asked, and yet only few have
ever answered it back. Nowadays, many people have a hard time finding words to
express this intense feeling. It may sound a bit cliché that I am attempting to answer this
unanswerable question, but really, what is love? For me, love is a state of willingness to
sacrifice something good to something better.
The article emphasized several myths that will describe our common perception about
love. Myths that sometimes being used as our basis and standard on love. In fact, many
dwell too much on them to the point that they expect exactly on what was stated there.
On the other hand, I then realized that they are just way of guiding us and helping us to
certainly understand what love is but actually each and every one of us has a different
way of defining it.
Many says that when you are in love, it hurts terribly. As what was stated in the article
“Love’s pain is its own redemption”, love is certainly painful but then again will make you
grow and be stronger. Basically, pain plays a significant role in finding one’s way to
love. Love and pain aren’t the same thing but they are directly proportional to each
other. The more you love someone, the more they can hurt you and the more you can
hurt them. Love can manifest in painful ways because the emotion exists while
deterrents exist. They run together concurrently; maybe parallel lines that are bisected
by particular incidents and other turbulent emotions. But this doesn’t necessarily mean
that love has evaporated and has been replaced by abuse.
I remember a line from a poem written by Shakespeare entitled “Sonnet 116”: true love
always perseveres, despite any obstacles that may arise. Shakespeare goes on to
define love by claiming that it stays constant, even though people and circumstances
may change. Love never dies, even when someone tries to destroy it because for him
love is eternal and unchanging.
Honestly, I took a long time reflecting on what I read from the said article but let me
share the insight I gained from it. A heart that’s truly in love never loses hope but always
believes in the promise of love, no matter how long the time and how far the distance.
Love has its time, seasons and reasons. As my favorite line in the article says, “It could
be painful in the process but love will find a way to surpass it that is why there is
resurrection in every instance of death”.
