Fairy tales and some sort of movies have made falling in love sound fancy, but in real life, the problems are real. You can’t be Preeti of “Kabir singh” every time who will fight against the whole universe.

Aristotle’s idea of love as a union, saying, “Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.” The pure love is when two soul meets each other not by looking at beauty or body but by understanding, respect and value for each other. Love is when we sacrifice for the person we love, respect them, be with them even in the worst situation of life and when their happiness and sorrow feels like ours.

There’s a mythology in our culture that love just happens. As a result, the depressed one often sits around passively waiting for someone to love them. But it doesn’t work that way. Love does not happen by own. We create a necessary situations to allow love to happen. Like you dress in a certain way, speak in a certain style then only it happens. For instance, for planting a flower – one must cultivate land, provide water and sunlight and maintain these conditions for the flower to blossom. Or close yourself in a room and just wait for someday... somebody will come and fall in love with me. Will it happen? No.

The phrase “fall in love” is apt. We don’t rise in love, we don’t fly in love but we always fall in love. Because something of you should fall into someone and you’re willing to destroy a bit of yourself for the sake of others. When someone becomes more important than yourself, when you don’t consider right or wrong and you are turning up things for someone.

If you become love and not love somebody then you may know the nature of love. If you love somebody, its a fickle happening. Because If you love somebody it is definite that some expectation will arise and no human being will be hundred percent the way you want. Every human being on this planet is going to disappoint you not because they’ll do something wrong but nobody can fulfil the expectation you want of them. Become love rather then extracting love from someone.

Throw yourself into your love and die into it. Something worthwhile will happen if you’re willing to die into the process, whether it’s your work or your life or your love, if you do not know how to throw your entire self into it, you will never know the taste of what it is.
