The path to Tranquility (spring)
38. About the objective definition of love
Love is the most advanced creation of life. It can truly connect life together
and form a powerful force. Through this power, we can use what we already have
to create a new world that is more conducive to survival.
Sometimes we feel love as an emotion, but this is only one of its effects. When we are loving each other, we feel joy and happiness. This feeling is an important result of love, which makes us feel connected and intimate with each other.
Maybe we think that love is a commitment, but that's just a phenomenon of it. We just love each other, and keep giving and receiving, but to others, these two seem to have made a commitment. From this phenomenon we can see that love can continue to develop without commitment. Those relationships that require commitment to maintain are not true love. Love is not a passive obligation or responsibility, but a free and active choice.
Therefore, love is an action that brings us positive emotions and a stable life. This kind of action includes respect, care, understanding, support and reliance. Most importantly, it gives each other what they need and allows each other to have more freedom. These actions not only reflect a true love, but also make the relationship between people deeper and more stable.
With true love, we won't worry about getting something in return, because we give with a giving mentality. Love is given willingly, so there is no need to worry, it will be rewarded naturally, otherwise it is not true love. It seems that love is given unconditionally, just like the silent spring rain, which does not choose its target and allows plants and stones to be nourished.
However, everything has a reason for happening, so love also has a reason. The rain cloud has received enough water in the previous moment, and the rain at this moment is just a release of the previous accumulation. The same goes for us. We have been given life for no reason, and gained a wealth of feelings and realizations. Our love is just a repayment to nature, and we will continue to receive blessings from it. Moreover, love allows us to enjoy the joy of the giver and thereby gain an improvement in life. It can be seen that love is not only giving, but also receiving.
These are also the reasons why love will not be exhausted. By constantly giving, love is like fresh spring water constantly surging. The purer and more complete the giving, the more we receive. Receiving, giving, and receiving more is the cycle of love. The ability to give is because we have already received a lot, not because we are empty and want to lure others to fill it.
In addition to harmonizing each other's body and mind and experiencing the beauty of life together, love can also enhance each other's creativity. Many tools that bring convenience to our lives were invented by people full of love in their hearts. Moreover, it is love that allows us to discover our ability to give, which is a great discovery for ourselves. With the joy of this discovery, we can create many new things that are beneficial to life, and experience the satisfaction and fun of being a creator.
Through loving each other, we establish a deep and stable connection that gives us more power to overcome difficulties in life. By increasing consciousness, love also increases the certainty of life, making us more confident about the future. Therefore, a life with love is the safest and no longer fears death.
It can be seen that the objective definition of love is giving to each other reciprocally, and each other is willing to do their best to meet each other's needs. This definition is consistent with the meaning of life, because love not only brings happiness to life, but also brings security to life. However, Only by loving each other can we prove that our love is true.
