There are already a lot of definitions and even understanding that has been made about love. Some are good and quiet reasonable and some corny. But honestly speaking, none of those contend me with the meaning of love. Because love is indeed a colossal element that consumed the individual self. We all feel it and its manifestations but we never arrived at a universal definition or even a common understanding of love.
Like any other thing, I have also my own version regarding love. Love for me is limitless; yes it is limitless! If I myself must journey to the very abyss of hell I will surely dot hat for the sake of love. It may sound ridiculous or absurd to other people but for me that's love. It even goes beyond death. It is something that consumed my whole being, moreover; nourishes my very spirit. Love is something that I can endure because it fills my life. I can even imagine living my life without it. Love simply fulfill my life. It keeps me going.
When I am in love, I can undergo any risk, suffering and even pain because love is more than what it is. Definitely, love is worthy of my sacrifices. Love is a thing that I've known which for me is a lasting element. When I love it would mean forever. Even if there will come a point in time that that certain being whom I loved will be the one to hurt me a lot and would be the cause of my suffering. One thing is assured I will still love him. When I love I will never allow hindrances or establish any limits that would bind myself to love. Because love is limitless.
My views, reagrding love may cause other people to think twice and I may not be understood. But it's okay with me because I know for myself that love is hard to understand. Right?
