Love and Emotions
People often talk about love but most of us are not
fully aware about its true essence. There is a lot of misconception about
efficacy of love that holds us back to generate love feelings towards others.
Love is not possessiveness. People look love as a
possession that has to be acquired and preserved. To expect that others ought
to provide it to us so that our life is filled with love is the biggest
fallacy, which is the cause of much unhappiness. It is not like any material
thing to be demanded from others. Even if other person offers us plenty of
love, we may not be able to feel it. It is normal to blame others for not
loving us, but much depends on our inner self whether it has capability to feel
it from others.
Love is a feeling of well being and good emotions. It
is an activity that keeps us in good spirit and is liked to our emotions. Let
us engage and create feeling of love by making self capable through appropriate
changes in our dealings with others. There is no other way to love and to be loved.
The physical intimacy devoid of good feelings is not love but lust. People
often fail to conceive love as pious in essence. While dealing with others let
us take care that our dealings make them cheerful, by helping them to come out
of their problems, appreciate their success and be grateful for help received
from them. All these activities are to express love. The benefit of giving love
to others is that it appeals to our heart and makes us connected to others,
provides stability and security, removes fear and gives a feeling of being good
towards other people. One can get to know love by first generating such
feelings of being good to others. How can a person feel love from others if he
is filled with ego, anger and self tendencies? These negative emotions suppress
inner urge to love others.
Love is a divine energy. Everyone has a very large
vague idea about love initially. As people try to understand more about it, a
completely different perspective and thinking develops that explains the true
essence of love. People have come to know from spiritual literature that love
is God and God is love. It appears too abstract in the first instance but more
they tend to think God, the more God will make people love themselves and its
creations. It is like energy flowing within people derived from ultimate that
thinks positive and helps in inner purification.
Everyone feels the impact of love in their life. When people
think good of others, they are in the same wavelength as their inner self,
which makes them light and joyful. Such feeling is love. It is not easy for a
person to love someone as it takes time to understand and then develop liking
of that person. Life is not always about happy or sad situation. It has its own
moments of ups and downs. How to adjust in each situation and take it in stride
will greatly affect the quality of life and relationship with other people. The
perception of love has to change. People have to live with all the problems
that they face in unison. Sought out their differences and make changes in
their lifestyle to bring semblance of love and tolerance in our attitude.
