LOVE IS OUR GREATEST RESPONSIBILITY

Love is our greatest responsibility as human being. Life expects us all to love everything around us unconditionally. Without love everything would fall apart, we would not preserve each other and protect human race from extinction. Without love lions would not live in pride and wolves would not live in packs. Without love many of us would never have seen the light of day.

Love is far greater than the emotions we tend to think it is. Love is a conscious choice to act right towards another human being and everything in our environment. It is a choice that we have to make and act upon. We have to decide to share our resources, to listen to the worries of our friends. In return we get people who can listen to our pains, support us when we are broken and sometimes just give us a good company. It is our duty to see the destruction we are causing on planet earth and decide to preserve it.

To justify the claim that love is a conscious choice, I will give you a short mental experiment. This is your question: Have you ever considered that you love yourself?  If you ever have; have you ever felt strong emotions towards yourself the same as the one you feel towards your lover? Probably you have never felt the same. But I tend to believe that you have always wanted the best for yourself.  You have probably avoided things that cause harm to yourself. That is love.

Most people tend to think love is only associated with the romantic emotions they experience when they have a crush. So they always get perplexed on why love is over, it is not love that is over. It is the crush that is over. That is truly when love begins, because your mind is fully done with getting confused and is ready to handle the responsibility that comes with loving.

The same comes for love for your environment and animals. You should feel a profound sense of responsibility to preserve and protect them.  Taking simple measures like conserving water, planting trees and donating money for charity is a show of deep and true love.

Someone once wrote in a movie script that love begins when the flames of loving have died down. I agree with him because love begins when the deep emotions are truly over but all that is left is their ashes. The deep profound responsibility towards the one you feel love towards or whatever you love so much. Love is the strong desire to protect, preserve or even make better who or what you love.

Has it ever occurred to you that only by giving love do you get love in return? So if you love you shall be loved back.
