Valentine's quickly disappeared like a fascinating pastime. The next day by YouTube shorts I came across by scrolling through Mila Stauffer's shorts in which she says, cutely Valentine is just Garbage, and my boyfriend doesn't even know my favorite chocolate brand name. So basically, it made my mind active again to write this article. As the day of love disappeared, is love valid for a day or a whole year? Or is Love Eternal like the movie ESSM, slowly everything depleting from our minds in such a hectic world? But Still, my query is unsatisfied. What about the heart? Which pumping with love beats.

So relax and stop your anxiety. It is the only first impression of love nowadays. I am exploring the feeling of love differently. It's firmly going to amaze you. Stay connected; you are safe in my hand. Trust me. Just Go to a deeper level of love with me and my thoughts by consulting the facts and figures.

Definition of Love:

Love is Friendship—Miss Briganza, huh ha? We will never forget this definition of Kuch Kuch Hota Hain. Everything is possible in love, war, and movies. Otherwise, LOVE is confusion, which never gets its conclusion.

On the internet, love is a strong feeling for someone or something. But the question remains the same. What is that feeling?

No one allowed us to know what love is. Maybe it's the solution to all problems. What we know about is that don't love like Laila Majnu, Heer Ranjha, Romeo Juliet, Dhola Maru, and so on. If that's the power of love, not everyone can handle it. Tragic stories are a dead end. Without social media, they are still so popular, and on social media, marriages are getting divorced nowadays.

Bollywood, Hollywood, Tollywood, Kollywood, Sandalwood, and so on are rotating movies revolving around the feeling of love. For the audience, it is unknowingly conveyed to mind that love is a source of fakeness. Love is a matter of act and has nothing to do with real emotions.

Our parents' generation is different. They enjoyed every melody and lyrics, the beauty of romantic songs, and felt its beauty honestly. They are more focused on Romantic novels.

To love someone means to see them the way God intended them.- Rabindranath Tagore
Love is Life. You can love a person dear to you with human love and an enemy beloved with divine love. - Leo Tolstoy
The uppermost form of love is out of reach without beginning the first step on the first rung of a ladder, which is the physical attraction to a beautiful body or individual. - Plato
"True love" as the union of "true minds" - Williams Shakespeare
Friendship love is to be the highest and most virtuous form. - Aristotle

These are a few Definitions and thoughts on love by great philosophers of their times. I searched to make it possible for you to read and feel it.

Love and Myths:

Love can often feel complicated, but myths and stories simplify it charmingly, like the arrows from Cupid or the playful tales of Kaam Dev in Indian tradition. Love floats over your hearts, and universally, if you feel lucky, you are. If still not, then they didn't throw an arrow at you.

Lord Krishna is the source of spiritual love. Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva transform into Mohini, the mesmerizing lovey form you could imagine of the goddess.

If we talk about the West, Apple is the reason for Adam Eve's love journey.

In Rome, we call him Cupid, and in Greek, we call him Eros/Amor, the God of sexual passion or desires and of that, you became suddenly egocentric, with selfish behavior, and at that time, Venus played a crucial role in decreasing our appetite (and we thought it's filmy).

Sometimes, I am Scared Myths afraid of Love or Myths conveyed to us in such a way that firstly, we have to be scared of sacred love.

Lord Ram-Sita (Sita was kidnapped by Ravana, leading to Sita's agni Pariksha), Lord Shiv-Sati (Sati jumped into the Havan, causing Lord Shiv to fall into depression), Dushyant-Shakuntala (Shakuntala, focused solely on waiting for Dushyant, was cursed by Rishi Durvasa, resulting in Dushyant completely forgetting her), and Lord Radha-Krishna (Radha never had the chance to marry Krishna, and her life gone through with tears), and so on.

We seriously taught about the negative side more. The strength between the Lord couples still hides from us within the mythology. And I don't think we should follow myths sightlessly. But for every action, there are reactions in the universe that somehow match what is mentioned earlier in mythologies. Think before ignoring myths.

Love within families and friends:

We love our family and friends the most. Unconditionally, we do. We fight, argue, respect, set certain boundaries, are frank, show our anger, show every mood swing, and hurt them the most. In return, we never say sorry, love, need, or want you. We never express ourselves. And another person assumes what we want to say. Being compassionate and respectful, we think their perception sometimes confuses us and builds conflicts in our minds. It's the mindset that sometimes leads to ultimate relaxation of the mind that someone understands without our saying.

No one else can love an individual better than a mother. For nine months, she conceived a baby, whose most warm and pure connection is one womb embryo before the infant soul breathes in another soul's body. We here also get confused about why a mother-in-law is so tricky. It is just a matter of authority over a child. How do others take charge so quickly over our children?

But in such a creepy and manipulating world. The daughters-in-law and sons-in-law cunningly become victorious and innocent, engaging in trust issues and getting exhausted gradually. Every human is the same but different. What kind of marriages nowadays? Love fades on marrying someone. Alimony, divorce, physical abuse, mental trauma, emotional harassment, and so on are side effects of most marriages.

Marriages come in family, right?

But if your parents had a healthy marriage, then only you could feel the full support, warmth of relation, and stability in your life. In old movies, we have to say we are living in a toxic marriage just for the sake of our child. But trendy movies want to explore others before marriage. In this scenario, we have forgotten we are not the same as previously regarding our perception and intelligence; can we ever explore others?

We are changing, and we accept others to be the same.

Love and Intimacy:

One of the most interesting and exciting topics, as you are assuming it's not at all like that. Intimacy is not just sexual desires or attraction. If you are too close but without interest in each other's personality, love gonna commit suicide, mark my words. It's the only reason love fades between love couples, and they want to kill each other.

Influence of Western Culture on our generation who wants to enjoy love games like the West. Love marriages are cute. But only if permission by parents first. Copy Western culture but broadly accept it. And if you can't dare to do it, don't ruin another's life.

Intimacy is the warm closeness of emotional availability, being a supportive partner, understanding, trust, faith, durability of connection, and opening up with positive and negative gestures. Love is not one-way communication. It's a two-way highway of love connection. Both efforts should be felt by one another. Physical appearance draws first attention, and emotional and mental understanding must grow in strange and precious connection.

Self Love:

Love yourself. You are important. If you are alive, someone can love you, or you can feel the upcoming real love vibes. So, never commit suicide for failure in love or after a breakup. It's a happy moment when you know you have emotional values. Your heart is working accurately. Heartbreaks are far better than heart attacks and heart arrests. Heartbeats for someone special who doesn't care about you, and you forgot at that moment your heartbeat got protected in your mother's womb. Your life is attached to your parents. If you think you are on the right track, they will support you one day. If Ego clashes, let it be; don't suppress feelings. But one-sided love never succeeds, so don't experiment with over-expression at that moment to divert your mind for your own healthy life.

Conclusion:

Love is unconditional; you can love the whole world. Love is precious when you have to choose the right and best one. Love is beautiful when the natural environment surrounds you. Love has rhythm when music and dance nurture you. Love is Divine when cosmic vibes and spiritual thoughts enlighten you. Love is pure when innocent kids are around you. Love is mysterious when you explore it within your depths. Love is demanding when you want someone else attention. Love is silence when you are enough for yourself. Love is peace when you know you can love yourself. Love is vibrant when excitement reaches you. Love is soulful when you can germinate love seeds within your heart under the pressure of many emotions and logical minds.
