Me and my friends have asked each other this question one night during the holidays. What’s your definition of love?
My answer back then was this: It’s like putting my little brother to sleep and watching him just sleep, admiring every detail of his face and realizing how peaceful it feels just watching him in that state. It’s like the line from my favorite song “I could stay lost in this moment forever”. True enough, whenever I watch my brother sleep, I will always wish that time would just stop - because it will always make me feel like I’m in my lightest, happiest state. It’s an absolute moment of bliss. It’s like everything in this world is in its perfect place - like all problems have been washed out. I would never give away that kind of moment in exchange for anything. That’s how I described love to them.
So many words came out but in the end we all went down to “Love is Selfless”.
We all thought Love means that feeling for someone - not exactly a lover - so pure and so great that putting yourself first above anything would be the last thing that would come to your mind. You’re selfless. Seeing the people you love happy will simply make you happy too. It doesn’t matter if nothing comes back to you. I think that’s the whole magic of love. Giving without asking for anything in return.
..and then I watched this video. So many definitions! but I have a favorite part here! The guy @2:47 said “It doesn’t have to work everytime. It doesn’t even have to work often. I just has to work one time and that’s the good thing about it - about love.” That’s a very powerful line.
I feel like we can never find the perfect definition of love. It’s just impossible. Wise people are right. You just have to feel it. You’ll know it’s there when you have it.. and you don’t need words for it. So much like how music works. It’s universal. Music has all forms of genre, in many languages - but you don’t need to be literate in one language to fully appreciate it. Because music is not just about words. It includes rhythm and harmony and beautiful notes and that’s what makes it beautiful. That’s what makes you appreciate and love it. oh well, maybe love can be defined as “universal” after all. lol
Right now, at my current state, it’s still that tiny little things that as a whole, sets my heart into a state of bliss. It’s doesn’t have to be always perfect.. but it has to make me want to “stay lost in this moment forever” But that’s just me! I can’t speak for everyone.
Happy Valentine’s day! What’s your definition of love? :)
