Hey people. So, I guess you can say this is one of my acting out posts cause I'm sorta, kinda annoyed yet Gross with their so called *creative minds*(cvs) and after today episode , if i could say in one lines to them, PLEASE SAVE SULBALA and SPARE ME THE HORROR! Perhaps the most bizzare episode ever aired!. Anyway, so please bear with me if I ramble. 😆😛 Personally, I feel our society is one where certain actions, phrases and words have been bas***dized to levels where they mean little or nothing. I could go over a few of them but today, I'll just go with the most annoying one. "LOVE" "ISHQ" Yes!! The world's favourite four-letter word (no, it's not food).
Now, my opinion on this is very simple. I'll leave religion out of it and just talk from the "worldly" perspective. Call me white or whatever but growing up, I read a lot of books and saw all kinds of movies and by the time I was 12, I knew there was more to professing love than the way it was carelessly done here.(eg: RKBala) Also, I couldn't help but notice how a lot of people tried to justify things such as staying in abusive relationships with that same four-letter word ' LOVE. A lot of us say it, use it recklessly, just another word ' right? Trouble begins when you ask an average black man to define the word "love" in a "non-religious" context. (Yes, we'll get to you so hold that thought.)
Before I go on, let me state clearly that in my opinion, the under listed, are VERY VERY different.
Admire ,Infatuate ,Lust ,Like ,Be "in Like" ,Love ,Be "in love"
Also, I'd like to state that when it comes to love, I have the following opinions:
1. You can love more than one person at once but you CANNOT be IN LOVE with
more than one person at the same time.
2.Once you fall IN LOVE with someone, you can fall OUT OF LOVE with the person but
it would take a grave sin for you to completely stop loving the person.
3.Merely LOVING someone can NEVER justify certain things (e.g. staying in an
abusive relationship) however, being IN LOVE with someone "might".
From this, you can clearly see that in my opinion, being "in love" with someone carries a whole lot more weight that just loving someone. Your parents, siblings, friends can love you. You can love a girlfriend/boyfriend after being "in like" for so long but falling "in love"? That's not something you just do. I've loved and still do but falling "in love"? I'm still waiting to experience it.
Having said all of this, If you are truly in love, you will actually take that bullet(sacrifice your life) for him or her, then you, my friend, are IN LOVE. Similarly happened with Madhubala today. She's willing to die for RK but not because she is or 'was' in love with him but rather than feel disgusted ,crying her heart out for a FREEDOM and JUSTICE! It shows and today Madhu has proven infinitely unworthy of RK's so called love for her. To Rk is like I love her(Really?) but i doubt it! Madhu would go to any lenght just to make RK realizes the same emotions she had gone through of Being in love. The only way to " make" him realize well, if she left! Otherwise, it is just all talk... I feel immense sympathy for Mr.Rishabh Kundra thinking he will be alone forever if he doesn't have madhubala, so she can't walk away without a good closure or vice versa.
Coming back to the main topic- LOVE. I think complete selflessness is the perfect expression of being in love, when the happiness of the person you're in love with matters as much as (or even more than) yours. When you'd rather be hurt than see the person get hurt! Before I get too mushy, I just think it's putting the person's well-being and happiness ahead of yours, if need be. Love is a feeling you feel when you feel you've never felt the feeling that you are feeling before.However love is more than a feeling and its a shame that most people confuse infatuation/lust with love.A wise preacher once said "You don't fall in love,you grow in love". Ever since I heard those words,i've begun to see the truth in it and I've also observed most of the couples I admire and noticed that love for them was a process which grew overtime as their friendship evolved. (eg: Sulbala)..Love, an emotion that grows and builds on other emotions. Its the most misunderstood and yet the most real emotion of them all, as u mentioned bollywood has painted a rather shallow image of love. It is deep, very deep,to me, most relationships flow from lust to like to plenty more like to love and gradually fall in love. Its not something that happens overnight, coz true love never dies, never!! So if one minute u love someone and the next u don't, u never loved them. I'm guilty of its misuse though,coz sometimes like doesn't convey how much the person means to u at that time..
That's my definition, time for yours. Before you share your comments, please share your definition of "being IN LOVE". If you don't have one, no problem, use the comment box and speak your mind in a good way and stay classy!. Cheers.😳😆
NOTE : Mature fun loving people , most than welcome! Others who are not part of all that, please kindly keep your distance.😃
