Day 359 of wisdom
“We are born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we are not alone.”
Orson Welles
The whole of life would have been a very lonely adventure were it not for the opportunity to love and have friends. All the course of nature comes upon people individually, but the people around the individuals will always in a way or the other be affected by the effects of these forces of nature. We came into the world alone, we might live a lonely life either by choice or by circumstances, and we will die alone, but when we love and receive love, we create an atmosphere of companionship.
On the words of Henry Van Dyke who said, "Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity." Love is the only thing that gives time value, without love nothing is worth doing, but in love we fight for those around us wanting to become, and to make life less difficult, more beautiful, and more enjoyable for everyone. Love is the source and the end of everything good.
We cannot say we love if all we care for is what we want from people and what we can get from them. Love is not just about ourselves it is about the other person. As Leo Buscaglia said, "Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love." The kind of love that is always expectant is not love at all, it is greed, selfishness, and avariciousness. Love gives without asking in return, love considers not his gains but that of others.
It was Charles Morgan who said, "There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved: It is God's finger on man's shoulder." When you love, you bring God into action, you activate an atmosphere of unity, growth, miracles and peace, and God enjoys working in such atmosphere. There can be no greater power on earth than the power of love. Love heals, love cures, love grooms, love has no limits, it recognises no age, and love never dies. Love not for getting love in return, love because you have to love, it is the whole essence of humanity.
