Cliched

Has anyone ever been able to describe LOVE? Millions of books have been written about this four letter word since times immemorial. But have they been able to successfully describe or explain it? Probably if you ask ten different people to describe love, they would all give you varied answers. What love means to a person is unique and how it makes them feel also differs. We have read millions of books and seen a ton of movies based on love and romance and how lovers are willing to sacrifice their lives for each other's sake, but how often does that actually happen? People nowadays change partners like a pair of clothes and change the relationship status to keep up with the trends. How can they love one person today and another by next week? So is the concept of a soul-mate and one true love bogus? Does that only happen in fairy-tales? Is the idea extinct to the gen-next? In an era where technology can help you stay connected with your partner all day long and keep you updated about what are they up to like you were right next to them, couples still tend to have trust issues. If you cant believe your eyes and ears, then I don't understand what shall one trust? In the good olden days when one letter took days and months to reach their beloved, they still managed to keep the romance alive. When does information become too much information? Is technology driving partners away? Is it not working because all mystery is lost? Well, one can never be sure.
If that isn't frustrating enough there comes the biggest murderer of love, DISCRIMINATION. Yes, how many stories have you heard that lovers have given up on the relationship because of differences in caste, creed, religion and race. You would say that doesn't happen anymore. You're mistaken. It is immensely prevalent in the 21st century too. People give up because they think their families won't agree or those who buck up the courage to stand up against their families for the right to love are massacred. Should love really be killed because you don't share the same faith? How does it matter by what name you refer to your God or what place of worship you go to? Don't all Holy books say the same thing that there's only one Supreme Power? Then who are we as humans to create the divide? Do people from different religions look different? Or do they breathe from their eyes? Or do they not eat food and survive on sunlight? As long as you are falling in love with a human I don't see any problems. The entire concept of religion is appalling. I think the only thing we should be believing in is HUMANITY and the kind of dark ages we live in its of utmost importance. I believe in God too but do not have blind faith. He is the guide and savior but I don't think he'd want us to kill in His name. Love is a wonderful feeling. It makes you feel blissful and blessed. No one should ever have to be afraid to love. Love is the only driving force that can help us get through this long life we need to live. Families should understand that their kids know who can keep them happy and they are capable of making the decision of choosing their life partners. Living a life with someone you don't love is difficult and its not a sacrifice you have made for your family but instead a compromise you have made for your life. A life lived on compromise is never fulfilling. It is a drag and unsatisfying. Some day many years down the line you'll realize that you made a mistake and half a lifetime has passed away and you think now there's no point and you've lived a dissatisfied life.So my sincere advice grab the one you love and strive it out with them. No matter how hard it seems at times but in the end you'll be happy and that is what matters. Don't ever give up love. It is what makes the world go round.  So Love and let love!
