Why do they do that? What is it that they see in that ONE person? I have always wondered about this. Its so difficult to reason it out logically. I think there is no logical reasoning or critical thinking you can do on such matters. This is Love, true Love, unconditional one. They just Love you for no reason. We may not be beautiful to the world but we are the most beautiful one for them, we may not be SMART or COOL or GREAT but they find us to be the smartest and in our little achievements they rejoice the most. We may not be good enough for all the Love but the way we are treated would definitely make us feel special about ourselves.
Have you felt special? Have you seen Love in a person's eyes?
How many have you promised to stay connected? To how many have to said you will be there for them? To how many have you said NO matter what... you will be friends. Have you kept your promises? Have your friends kept theirs?......Its easy to promise in words but very difficult to keep it and it takes conscious effort. When you don't stick together it doesn't mean that your relationship wasn't great, nor does it mean it wasn't fun. Most of the times you don't have a reason why you drift apart from that person. But if there is a person who is still in touch with you and they have put their efforts to make sure to stay connected 'No matter what...' it just means you are too special for them to let go of you. These are the people who Love you no matter how you reciprocate. The image of you in their head would never change, and these are the ones who would think of you, care for you, worry about you and love you forever. These are the ones who would always prioritize you. These are the ones who want to spend time with you. They would go an extra mile to just spend time that 1 extra minute with you just you. These are the ones who never take you for granted. These i call 'FRIENDS'.. the best and the ultimate ones.
This Love is simple and pure. This brings peace. A mother can show such Love so can a Father, sometimes its friends and if you are lucky enough that person would be your partner. But we should never miss out on such people, never ignore them, even when we cannot Love them back as much as they Love us the least we can do is appreciate it.
Such Love isn't easy and its not natural to everyone. Most us love people around us with conditions. If we all are able to LOVE one person unconditionally we should call ourselves blessed. Its a blessing to know the feeling of being selfless. I'm still trying my best to be able to be selfless. Its a tough task. The purpose of this life is to LOVE. A greater Love God showed us and asked us to spread this to people around us. This is the only thing we need to do in life -to be selfless in Love- to all. This is the simplest thing God expects from us and the toughest thing to do as humans.
Jeremiah 31:3 says - 'I have loved you with an everlasting Love'.
I wish each one of you to be blessed to be a blessing. Spread LOVE.
I like your take on it.. Especially "The image of you in their head would never change" and "This is the simplest thing God expects from us and the toughest thing to do as humans." Overall, it flows. Keep 'em coming :)
ReplyDeleteBeing slefless like you said is a habit. I guess, its the toughest thing to do and needs life long of practice .. :) .. Act of "Parenting" should be like boost-up in achieving that I guess. I dont know. nice write-up.. keep writing :) ..
ReplyDeleteI dont know how parents turn selfless as soon as the baby is in thier arms. Im sure No one was trained for this. May be its the flesh and blood. i dont really know.
