why should you love no matter what the consequences are?

Love is a pure expression of heart, it is a genuine manifestation of warm feelings that rush out from within the soul.

Why should you love? What is in it for you? Why bother with this emotion at all? Why "love" at all?

We have all been there, done that and even many failed in it. But, my dear friends, love is never-ending and forever lasting. You don't love for the sheer feeling of attachments or relations, you love because it feels right and it is right.

Love is not a bounden duty but an opportunity for you to be who you are. People reject, people hate, and they do all sorts of stuff that breeds negativity but all can be washed down, with just a sip of love.

Lemme tell you a secret!

When you love others genuinely, you start loving yourself.

You develop a sense of warmth within you that not only reaches others but also reflects in your soul as well.

You cannot be a great man/woman if you don't have a big heart and enough love to fill it all.

Afraid of your enemies? Love them since they are here to make you strong for facing the stronger ones...

Afraid of heights? Love the elevation since you won't be able to see better and beautiful scenery than this.

Afraid of life? Love, that it provided you with an opportunity to explore and find yourself.

There is a reason for everything but none for love. Since love is unconditional and unbounded.

Let me take you into a beautiful story and rejoice the power of love :

Long far away in lands of British people, was a town, a small town with few people. There in the middle of the town was a statue of a prince.

The mighty prince that used to rule over that city long ago.

One day a flock of sparrows happens to cross the city. Few rested on wires, few on roofs, and one on prince's feet. As dawn approached, all flew away except that little bird on his feet.

Midnight, when the tired sparrow woke up, he couldn't find his mates. He was terrified of being left alone. He didn't know where to fly and reach them.

Sad and depressed about this unfortunate event, he started crying.

Suddenly he heard someone murmuring. He looked around to find the source. Then to his surprise, he found the prince sobbing like a small child.

"Dear Prince, why are you crying?" Asked the Sparrow.

"For I see the pain of my people, the pain in their hearts and soul, I can't do anything but cry," Prince explained.

The sparrow asked if he could help him in any way. The prince claimed that he was covered with gold plates and that sparrow could pluck it and donate it to the needy.

So he did, he scrapped every piece of the prince's gold body and donated it as instructed by the prince. At first, the sparrow was reluctant and wanted to help only once or twice but eventually, he felt love towards him and stayed.

Winters came, and with it came harsh cold winds. Sparrow was too sick to fly and help anymore but he completed his task meticulously.

At last, the prince donated his eyes which were made of sapphire, and went blind.

"Go, little fella. You helped me a lot, now you shall go away to your folks."

The sparrow denied and stayed with the prince. He told him about the world around him and how happy the people have been.

Harsh weather and tiredness took a toll on him and the little sparrow was barely moving. He gathered all this strength, flew high, and kissed the prince. Only to fall down and drop dead.

Prince couldn't handle the pain and his stone heart broke into pieces. Yet, their love remained till eternity.

So you see, love can change everything. From little sparrow to stoned prince.

That's the magic of love one should embrace.

Love the trees, love the vibrant colors of flowers in your garden, love the sheer idea of love. Smile and love go hand in hand.

Smile kicks in love while love brings happiness back.

Next time, don't hold back! Just love everything, and see how you live your life as a whole.
