#23 from an isolated island, with love,

                Did I ever tell you what the definition of… love is? Love is a variety of different feelings, states and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection to pleasure, technically. But is that the real definition? Is that the answer? Is that what we have felt in our lifetime? For me, maybe yes maybe no. I have never thought about it. Until recently I questioned myself, what is love? Whom do I really love? Whom should I love? How can I show my love?

                First of all, whom do I really, really love? I am young. I can say that I am quite matured in some way but in term of love, I am just an infant. For years I have been striving for fun, happiness and joys in life. One of them is of course, like you guys, get a girlfriend. I am not embarrassed to say that I had done it many times. It is just that, you know, it is a common thing that we, teens do. To feel what does it feels like when you have a wife, have a family, have a significant other who really, really loves you. It was fun. It is stupid. That is it. To whom do I really, really love right now? I do not know.

                Secondly, to whom should I love? A cliché saying, “The ones you need to love is, God, family and friends,” But the thing is, is it they that we should love? Sometimes people we SHOULD LOVE and people we DO LOVE defy each other greatly. We stuck in that dilemma so often that instead of love, we started to hate. We hate people we should love, we hate someone we once love and ultimately resulting to hate ourselves. So the question is tricky one. Even if we lived eternally, we still would not find the answer.

                Next, how can I show my love? We have our own style, ways and attitudes. The way we express our love is vary from each other. But sometimes, we are misinterpreted horribly by people. We are unlikely misunderstood and frequently lead to agony. We have been thinking a lot, thinking “Hey, umm, is this the right way? Am I exaggerating? Am I doing it right?” That is the problem. Do we need to find someone who is very experienced in love? Do we have to find a book entitled “Love for Dummies?” Do we need to surf the internet just to learn the right way expressing love? I do not have any idea.

                Lastly, what is love? Killer question, is not it? Is it “Baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me, no more?” Okay, let me put some quotes here, from Mahatma Gandhi, “Where there is love, there is life.” It is true because, hatred would bring wars which lead to mankind extinction.  But on a smaller scale like a relationship between you and me as example, what can it be defined? “Can miles truly separate you from friends, if you want to be with someone you love, are not you already there?” by Richard Bach. It says it does not matter how far away you are, if you love somebody, your presence is always close. But what is the answer? Well, fuck.

                From these we can conclude that love is not something that is docile. We would not find the exact answers to these questions. My thought is just love. Express it anytime anywhere. Incessantly and adequately.  Og Mandino once said, “Do all things with love,” If the whole world starts to spread the love, we would live in a better world. So you do not have to bother about those questions, you would find the answers eventually.
