It is undeniable love plays a role in our daily life.
Here is just some of my view on the matter of love.
Love could be divided into friendship love, family love and serious relationship love.
There is always a big distinction between like and love. Then how do love different from like ?
Love is a feelings that born naturally from the heart. It could be cause by the time of interaction between 2 individuals that grows the feelings of love. The power of love is indescribable. Someone out there could die for it, someone could lose everything because of it, someone would have wait for thier whole life for it and even someone have change their own personality because of it. That is really not easily to be done without the involvement of courage of love.
I would like to share my view on the categories of love.
Friendship love.
It is really a true friendship occurs in this world ? The answer could be YES and NO depending how you treat your friend. To generate a true friendship is not easy. It need to really put effort and true heart in the friendship. Love them as if they are part of your family. Talking about true friendship love makes me think if a song titled "一个像夏天一个像秋天" which recommended to me by someone. Some said there is no true friendship between girls and boys. I strongly disagree with the statement. True friendship could happen between girls and boys if their intention are right. Some girls I have known for many years and yet the feeling I developed for her is just friend till today. True friendship is hard to find and easy to lose. Make sure you appreciate every moment with them.
Family love.
Family is the only closest individuals to us on earth given by god. We have no right to chose whom to be our family and whom to be our parents. Nevertheless, we have to learn to accept it with love. Since the day we are born, family shower us with love endlessly. They never tired or giving up on us no matter what is the situation. Either poor or rich they are still love us. They love us as what we are and how we are. When we fall to the bottom of everything, they are the one who shed our tears and give us support. They never fail to leave us. Treasure your family as there will be no others as treasure you as your family.
Relationship love.
What is a relationship love ? I would say it like a mutual feeling between 2 individuals. However, the feeling might be short, might be long and might be never. When both individuals have feelings for each other, the relationship starts. It is just a begining of a journey to test the compatibility, the endurance and the readiness of both. However, this kind of love is the most complex love among those. The otherside of this love is hate. Usually, when someone love another one, they will willing to sacrifice a lot for their partner. The things turn ugly when they are not being love back as what they expected. This is where hatred comes in. Some will even choose to suicide which I strongly discourage. Meeting the worng one dosen't mean the end of the world. There must be someone out there love you more than the current one. To find him/her out, you need to stay alive. Maybe just the next moment your true love is just standing beside you without your knowledge. Maturity in thinking is always a advantageous criteria in starting a love relationship as in the relationship, there might be a lot of judgement need a rational mind to make a decision. Nevertheless, love relationship dosen't guarantee anything in future as well. I have few friends which have been together with their partner for many years broken up and some of those have married even divorced. The only reason they give is "No Feelings Liao". I personally believe, that is not only the reason, to be together is not all about just feelings as it is a very fragile subject. We dosen't know when the feelings will come and when it will disappears. My view is to be faithfull to your partner and discover some of the things that make you worth for your partner. Time is short journey is long. Life is frigile, if found the right one, don't hesitate to tell them "I LOVE YOU" or "我爱你" cause you will never know the next moment will able to meet them again. Make your life no regret.
However, there is no ultimate distinction between the categories I have mention above. A friendship love could growth to relationship love which subsequently growth to family love. As long as there is love, this world is full of hope.
This is my first post and it is just my humbly view. I hope the next is coming soon.
