Never in my dictionary the word love is defined. For me, it is
something that cannot be delimit by words nor bounded by uttered
actions. The universe seem to design it that way that only people
who actually experienced it can understand what it is and know what
it is all about. What is more, everyone has access to it but few
can own it like a public property made to be private and personal -
like everyones kind of perfect. It is a complicated area of thought
that even scientists cant associate with the definite laws of
nature or construct a law or laws on it for that matter. Meaning to
say, they cant comprehend on something since it cant be put into
numbers or computation. So if a scientist cant really explain the
mechanics and composite of it what more could we, ordinary people,
extract from it aside from it is the butterfly in our stomach, the
yearning of the heart, and it is blind. Eventually no matter how
vague it can be, love made everybody crazy for it. That with just a
mere thought of it people become happy and unfortunately
irrational. How? They do crazy stuffs a man of reason would never
dare to do. No sane person would be willing to be humiliated just
to show his feelings he cant contain or starving himself to death
so he could save to give a girl some festive stuffs or expensive
jewelry. By this Im talking about the love teenagers and hopeless
romantic people often talk and dream about. The true love that
waits romantic love. There are different versions of love and this
kind is the most common and clichd type. It is where pick-up lines
are rooted. It inspired so many song writers and even novelists.
And so love was put into another perspective. Famous lines and
philosophy about love now have their own space in the pedestal lane
where readers and other people lend most of their time and
sometimes money. Because of this, many have become fascinated with
the idea of being in love to the point where he or she cant
function well or be efficient in school, at home or anywhere
anyhow. They dont realize is that its just the surface of it all.
Just the fragment of a whole. There are other parts that make-up
the whole. Like the other versions of love. Love towards other
people. Other quirky kinds underneath of what is apparent. The
kinds that leads us away from the misconceptions about love. And
above all those kind is the love of God.This kind was the center
topic of the first talk for the months crazy love series. At first,
it talked about the love in its most shallow sense where people are
asked about the craziest thing they did for love. A girl said she
sang it might be you for a guy. Another one answered he stalked the
girl where hed know her schedules and watch go home everyday he
even added a #creepy on his post. Then after sharing some more, the
talk went on by defining love. Some definitions were circling
around the thought about forgetting that there were 1.2 billion
people in the world because of that one special person. In
addition, love was associated with an undesirable feeling that
affects a person. It also mentioned some misconceptions about love.
There were three according to the pastor. Those are love is equals
to sex, feelings and emotion. There have been more funny examples
about it but theres this one concept that seem to be the center of
the nights occasion and that is, above all else, love is not God,
God is love instead. That we do not consider how godly love can be
but how God showed his unconditional love to us as the pastor said
a passage that goes something like this, for God so love the world
that he gave his only son and those who believe in Him shall not
perish but have an eternal life. Pure happiness in love can be
found not in love itself but by seeing how God cherish us through
love.
