An evening in the far end of March, I got down from an Auto & started walking towards home. I read a quote on some stranger’s T-Shirt. It said, “Loe means nothing in Tennis, but Love means everything in life”.
I immediately wanted to send that quote as text/SMS to one my friend, who loves tennis so much. Then I told to myself, I will meet my friend personally & tell this quote, for it makes a lot more sense to see the expression of a person when you say a quote. I am yet to tell that quote to my friend & will definitely tell that quote before I publish this blog of my mine.
Though I didn’t think about that quote immediately, this quote remained in my memory till now. Since I had few hours today at my spare (for a change!!!) I sat back & started thinking about what all happened in last 1 week. Some good memories, some bad memories, some pleasant surprises, some miseries… Life after all is a roller coaster ride. I happened to recollect this quote also. Yes, how true “Love means nothing in Tennis, but Love means everything in life”.
One of my loved ones once asked me, why do you love me? Hmm, a million dollar question. Why do we love someone? No clear answer. I don’t think I can figure out ONE definite reason and say this is the reason why I love whom I love. I am sure most of us don’t have a reason as to why we love a person the way we love.
Do we love someone because they care for us? Then why is it that we don’t love everyone who cares for us with the same intensity? Or do we love someone because of sharing? A lot of people share lot of things with us, then why don’t we love everyone who shares things with us. I also share lot of my problems & worries with my dear ones J ;)… Do they all love me with same intensity? How do we measure that intensity of love? Do we love someone because they give us priority & attention? What if the priority changes? Do we stop loving them? No, we don’t stop loving people if they don’t give us priority & attention, we will fight for it!!! So for sure, we don’t love a person because we get the priority & attention that we want. Do we love someone because of materialistic benefits? I am sure all of us will vote as NO. So there is no meaning in even thinking about those materialistic things. Do we love someone because the person listens to us? We love to talk to someone who listens to us… But, is that the reason we love someone? No, definitely not. We also love people who just don’t listen to us. We will try to communicate & re-communicate the same thing over and over again to the person who doesn’t listen to us, but we don’t stop loving them. Is it the familiarity which breads love truly? I know with time stranger also becomes a friend, a close friend, a friend for life time. But familiarity alone would not lead to love as well.
I always remember the quote made by Sushmita Sen when she was crowned Miss Universe in early 90’s when she was asked how is women different from men? A woman is the one who shows a man, what loving, caring & sharing is all about. How true!!! Sharing & caring to some extent constitutes love. So are all women lovable?? Because most women really cares & shares all the time. If all women are lovable, why would there be fights at all at any point in time between 2 women or between a man & a woman?
Why do we love someone more than rest of the crowd? Why do we take people for granted when we love someone? Why do we sometimes fail to understand our loved ones? Why do we love in the 1st place? I am trying to find answers myself. But I am not able to find one.
