Perception of Love

What do we all know about love? I believe it's a complex feeling and emotion that each of us will encounter. Either it's the love from your family members or from your friends and even someone that you just know, not to mention God himself (except those atheist people). I would say love is a good thing yet it can also bring disaster.

Love from family and friends are very common to everyone already. In fact, all sort of love also we kind of familiar and even experiencing right at this moment. However, I would like to share my thoughts about love in term of relationship with someone totally not blood related to you. Well, friends fall in this category. Perhaps I'll talk about common love relationship.

For this topic, I think the song sung by Anita Mui and Jackie Cheung really explain a lot about relationships that occurs in many people's life. I personally feels that the chorus talks a lot about lots of people's relationship. I've attached the YouTube video clip here for listening and for reference.



As you can see, at the chorus part of the song, it mentioned that if loving someone over the limit in the relationship, the couple can tends to enemy and hating each other if the relationship doesn't work out the way they expected it to be. To love each other is really difficult. The difficulty lies in each party has their own expectation, and it's really depends on both party to tolerate and to make the relationship viable and sustainable.

Other than that, simply just to love someone is not easy either. Even just to received someone's love that is considered one sided. There is no way those love can return or repay. Those guilt that builds up and you probably will never able to solve it. If you love someone, it also may not return the way you want it to be.

To choose not to love is not too difficult. Unless you are Buddha that can reach enlightenment or perhaps like those monks that you will not be able to get attach with desires. Other than that, I think it's impossible to suppress your feelings. If you like to ignore love also not that simple. The responsibility or empathy to cherish someone important in your life makes life more difficult to control.

The moral of the story, if you found someone that you love, tell them how much you love them before it's too late. Try your best to cherish each other and makes this life the fullest. No matter how, to love is not easy yet challenging, but not to love is even more difficult and sad. Hope everyone will found that someone worth loving.
