Hey Guys...
So I wanted to kinda have a good discussion on this topic...
We have all heard words of love...different kinds of love...selfless...selfish love...passionate love...intense love...dark love...and the list goes on. We do so much analysis and grind tits and bits about it as well...but there is one thing that has always left me confused or rather in question about falling in love...about being in love.
"I love you more than anyone...more than anything...more than God himself"
"Fall in love with yourself first, only then can you fully love someone else"
Above are the 2 most contradictory statements I have come to recently hear...esp the 2nd one. There are several ways we get to hear this statement...all boiling down to the same..."love yourself first" and this is exactly where my mind goes in a complete ongoing ...never ending loop.
I have seen many people who are so into themselves...so much in love with themselves...that they will always place themselves first in the relationship and thus deprive themselves of fully giving themselves in to their partner.
Is it really true that in order for you to really love someone...you have to fall in love with yourself first? Do you really have to place yourself first so that you can fully love the other? If that is the case...then it does not hold true for Rudra. We all know he loves Paro the most...Paro matters to him the most and before she came into his life...there was nothing more he had loved...and definitely not himself. So now if we keep the 2nd statement in mind...does that make Rudra's love for Paro not complete? Does that mean that Rudra does not "truly" love Paro? Personally I disagree to the 2nd statement.
In today's cynic world...I think this is where people fail to love one another...Relationships are so fragile because everyone wants to place themselves first. How will one ever experience a "selfless love" if are going to love yourself first? I am not saying one shouldn't...But I think if rather than falling in love with yourself...appreciating yourself as human and appreciating your ability to love and understand fellow humans is more important.
Rudra to me falls in that category...he always maintained that he is a human who deserves love and who has the ability to give love as well...but he was deprived of both and that is why today he is able to love Paro with such passion...with such intense emotion that his world...his universe is none other but Paro. Rudra knows the value of love...of the giving kinda love...coz he was snatched away from it and that is why he can give love to Paro coz Paro is equally on the giving end of love. She also loves him more than herself and together they have the selfless love.
I however absolutely disagree...that Rudra loved himself first?
What do u guys think?😳
