Give Love and Get Love

I believe, that for the people who understand Love better than anybody else, everything about Love revolves around the word "Give" rather than "Get". A wise man once truly said, 'Love wasn't put in your heart to stay.Love...Isn't love until you give it away'. Yes, Love is all about giving, but thats the beauty of it, once your priority is Give, you get abundant love in return.

Giving and getting love is the only way of living a peaceful and happy life. The satisfaction of loving somebody cannot be matched by any other satisfaction or bliss. One should however note that we are not talking about the kind of love which they show in movies. Caring for your elders is Love. Holding an aged person's hand and making him/her cross the street, is Love. Accepting a mistake which you haven't committed, for the only reason that your friend feels happy, is Love. Giving away something which you value the most, just to see someone satisfied, is Love. Being humble to the poorest man on earth, is Love. And the irony about Love is, when you don't expect anything in return, its then when you recieve it back in abundance. If someone asks me what Love is, I would say that I am not supposed to understand what Love is, I am only to feel it. The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. You cannot explain how you feel when you do something out of love for someone, which you wouldn't have done otherwise. You cannot explain how you feel when someone does the same for you. You just feel that you are the luckiest person on the world.

The quickest way to receive love is to give, the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings. To quote Margaret Anderson, "In real love you want the other person's good. In romantic love you want the other person".

Nature follows the law of duality. Love is no exception. The dual of Love is Hatred. The main difference between Love and Hatred is, Love concerns with expecting nothing to gain, but its the best things in the world which Love gives you, and Hatred concerns with only gaining, but the fact of the matter is nobody gains anything from hatred. Its the darkness within an individual which prompts actions concerning hatred. Revenge, is hatred. Envy, is hatred. Arrogance, is hatred. Hatred clouds judgement and hence brings nothing but distress, pain and suffering. On the other hand, Love puts everything in perspective, and hence it brings everything good related to bliss, peace, satisfaction and more importantly, happiness.

Summing up, Love grows by giving. The love we give away is the only love we keep. The only way to retain love is to give it away.
