What is love

I keep wondering what love is.. Is it just about sharing and caring? Pampering and getting pampered? Why not! Does it ultimately not bring out the best in us. Dont we tend to be a wonderful person when in love! Yes, we all do... but, when we are in love, we feel so much joy that slowly we start getting attached to it and in the process forget the actual quality of love. We want to possess both the love and the beloved. And then, the honesty, the innocence and the authenticity starts to go away. Sometimes, you may feel, Why has the other person changed? Why does he not respond the way he used to respond earlier. Sometimes, you yourself may want to avoid someone. You still love him but that chemistry is missing. The answer is that love is not about expecting anything. It is only about giving. It is about remaining unattached and being what we are. It is about living our life fully. And, as soon as you are yourself and become as fresh as a flower, ready to soar high like a free bird, you are so receptive and loving, you will again fall in love. However, remember the lessons already learnt. Dont try to possess anything. Dont get attached! Everything that we consider ours will be gone one day. So, why get attached! Just keep giving. Be loving, be friendly, spread happiness and love all. That is the only way to be happy and may be, understand love...
