Love

Wikipedia describes love as a range of emotional and mental states from sublime virtues and interpersonal affection to the simplest pleasure. It also describes it as emotional attachment and affection for a person. But i don't think that is all it is.
Love can't be just affection for someone or a slight feeling of pleasure. It is something that every art piece in this world is based on so surely, love can't be something this simple. Emotional dependency and attachment is a nice way of putting it but still I feel they haven't captured the gist of it. 
We hear stories about love, fairy tales, movies, listen to love songs and yet its quite astonishing that none of us seems to really know what it actually means. 
I think I might have figured it out. Love is caring for someone so much so that when they feel the slightest discomfort or a hint of sadness In their life, we start feeling guilty for being happy. If someone you loved was sad or melancholic for whatever reason, you would beat yourself(not literally) over laughing at a joke. It's just that guilt that prevails in the mind that "How can I be laughing when they are in pain? "
I say that because it was an observation, one that I am really proud of. For example, if my mother was feeling sad for whatever reason, I would not breathe easy for a second. I would make myself be sad just because she was. 
Human beings are designed to be social so caring for someone is an innate thing we do. We can't help it and its probably the reason we've survived this long. This aforementioned "description" of a concept is, I think, a beautiful thing. Empathy is at the helm of everything. And personally, on a completely unrelated note, it could be the cure for racism. 
I think we can all do better. 
Thank you.

Hello Readers, Has anyone ever had that moment, where you buy something new and for obvious reasons you don't look at the manual. Then, you start putting it together/ setting it up and all of a sudden you're stuck and you don't know what to do? Then, you're left with a choice, either lose your self respect and take the manual out of and read it, or just struggle with it and hope for the best. That is what i think about life sometimes. I mean, I wouldn't easily do this, but i think I would have definitely picked up the manual by now. That is what I think is the most wrong with this life. I mean we do have it but we don't know what to do with it. "Life is like the horizontal stripes on the aux cable, one doesn't know what it does, but one sure is glad that it makes the sweet-sweet music play." I wish, i knew what to do with my life. I do intend to find out someday. Life is not easy, but worrying about the little things is what makes us pick up ...

Death Dessert theory.

Hello... Readers( which apparently are not many). I have come up with a new theory. I havent thought of a name yet. Maybe i will just tell you the name at the end after explaining to you what it is. On second thought i have named it... "Death Dessert". Cool huh? Explanation. Well, most things that are rare, are expensive. And most things that are expensive are most valuable to us. So rare things are valuable. And most people save the sweetest bite for the end. In other words, most people like their dessert at the end of the meal. Taking these two points under consideration, think about death. Death is rare. It only occurs once in everyone's life. And it comes at the end. After everything. It is the sweetest bite. The dessert of life. Maybe death isnt a bad thing afterall. Maybe death is a bite of sweet dessert after all the sour battering given to you by your whole life. Maybe death is the eternal goal. Who knows? Maybe the dead people cant come back or maybe they d...

What is GOD?

Hell Readers! See that wasn't a typing error. I didn't mean to write "Hello". I wrote, "Hell". Must that mean that I am going to hell? Does that mean I am one of Satan's minions? That's the issue we're dealing with in today's post. I have this theory of why people believe in "GOD". I find it excruciatingly annoying when people talk to me about some superstitious gibberish. I wonder, in all the years since these so called rituals have been going on, not one, not even a single person had the courage to stand up and ask a simple question, "WHY?". My mother once said, "Respect your elders". Fair enough, but i asked why? The only reason they're older than me is because they were born before me. I had nothing to do with that. THEY had nothing to do with that. Why should I respect my elders? All you have to do to be an "elderly person" is 'not die'. All in all, I had to apologize to my mother...
