Love Like And Life.

Since most of us think that we were in love or we are in love I think it is a very important topic to talk and to ponder upon.

How to define it?
Nobody can define it perfectly and I don’t think I should even try but I think most of us misinterpret it; most of us want to love someone and be loved by somebody.
Most of us think we have loved someone in our life and maybe that is true but the odds of it happening are very low because we are humans and humans are selfish and selfish sentiments opposes true love.
Because love is not about being with somebody or talking to somebody everyday or expressing it, it’s just about doing it.
We somehow seek love but it is not to be searched, it already exists but humans are selfish.
We somehow want the other person to know our value, our importance but that is not love, that was liking; another very strong and important emotion, I think even better in today’s world. Liking is very similar to love till we are liked by somebody from the other end but as soon as it vanishes the self centered human in us overcomes our liking heart and our emotions very rapidly evolve and we think we have learnt a lesson in life.
Liking can’t be compared with love; both are very different and important parts of life.
Why do we think that love is superior to liking?
Because it is easy to like than love?
So what it is much difficult to accept that we liked somebody and we were not in love,
It takes guts to not tag your liking as love and accept it.
And when it comes to accepting or expressing our love, we lag behind in it too; we rarely express it to our parents, seldom to our siblings, often to our friends and regularly to our boyfriends and girlfriends because expressing true love is also very difficult and rare.

So let’s just avoid considering liking as love,
Lets avoid considering love superior to liking,
Let’s avoid loving individuals,
Let’s try to love the world.


Thank you.

  1. You know why we lag behind in expressing our love or like its because of hurt. Humans apart from being selfish also crave for acceptance. Keeping mum of our feelings seems to be a better option than expressing them and then being rejected. Rejection from someone whom you love or like maybe just mere rejection of our feelings but its in our nature to take it as a rejection of ourselves and its really easy for people to accept that we are not good enough. However, I believe that we are. We are good enough to get love in return for ours we just have to keep looking. :-)

  2. expressing love is not asking out someone for a relationship...and we are good at expressing love when it comes to bf and gf(that's what i have written in the post)...but when it comes to express love to someone like our parents we lag behind..

  6. On first note you wrote really nice. secondly i think little different on this note. love isn't about a single form. love that your parents give has no substitutes, the love which your partner gives you had no substitute as well.. but the difference is of emotions. what you feel for your parents you can't feel for your partner. but obviously at some point you leave everything behind for that one person. it's on a person how he takes these forms of love. And though liking should not be confused with love, but it's an initiation of love as you may also agree. love can mean to everything or nothing..

  7. I believe if you express love to your boyfriend or girlfriend, then it must be expressed in gestures to your parents as well for you may not need words to express. but nothing should be compared but rather prioritized according to the situation and emotions.

  8. yeah i agree with himani that the expression or not expressing it depends on the scenario...
    and btw the only thing i wanted to convey through the post was that
    1.we often misinterpret liking as love.
    2.liking is no less than love...accepting it is difficult and appreciated.
