Elucidating Love

It's real essence

Have you ever experienced falling in love? How do you know if you’re in love? Do love has restrictions? Does age matter? Does gender matter? And does the size really matters?

These rhetorical questions are the basic hypothetical scenarios about the majestic idea of love, but what does this ideology really imply?

Love is indeed an essential concept for me. Assume you're in a tropical paradise. You have the ability to accomplish anything, own everything, and roam anywhere. However, there is a catch: no one will love you there. In fact, no one will even acknowledge your presence. Even though you'll be encircled by others, you'll feel entirely alone. That wouldn't be heaven for me: ergo agony and apathy.

In a metaphorical perspective, love has the same notion with sunsets because they give people a sense of comfort and serenity; hence the same feeling we can allure in love. A simple date in the village can also attest to this majestic feeling of being in a cloud full of sunbeam.

Fundamentally, It doesn’t need to be in a romantic way. Your family, friends, and even your pets are all kinds of love. When you appreciate the other person's happiness more than your own; you've found love. When you pray, you think of them and wish them the best of luck in their lives. When you're in the thick of your own life's craziness, you wonder about how they're doing. It's when you've had a long day and all you want to do is hear their voice and wish them a good night's sleep. When you understand someone, when you can read their quiet, love is not just about chatting and laughing together all the time — that is love for me.
