What Is Love To You? by linearity: 12:24am On Sep 06, 2012 |
Does Love really have a universal unique meaning that is applicable to all? Is there anything like unconditional love as some would want us to believe? If Nkechi said she loves Uchenna and Amaka said she loves Emeka. Is Nkechi and Amaka really saying the same thing? Assuming that, they are both sincere and honest with their profession of love, but does that 'love' means the same thing or equals the same thing to both of them? I have heard a lot of people say, I love him/her unconditionally, I will never leave him and I will marry him again in a do-over, etc...are they really sincere?...Yes, we have seen and heard of many people who stick to their love ones through adversities, calamities, etc..but is that not resolving to fate and settling? I mean 'settling' in a good light here. My point is, had they met that person in the exact same calamity, adversity that they are now, would they have married them? If their love was unconditional; why didn't Nkechi love Emeka or Amaka love Uchenna? You would think that, If love is unconditional, then the object of such love should be irrelevant. I think, there is nothing like universal love and all love are conditional and that, the only being that is capable of loving unconditional is God. I also believe that love is in the eyes of the beholder and since there are different strokes for different folks, the conditions that attracted Nkechi to Uchenna is different from the conditions that attracted Amaka to Emeka....and that is why Nkechi does not love Emaka and Amaka did not love Uchenna. Now since we have established that all love are conditional, except God's love. The next question is..what are these conditions? they may include behavior, character, spirituality, height, weight, color, creed, skin tone, State or Country of residency, money, riches, properties, gold, cars, houses, family background, community, educational status, social class, presentation, friends, sexuality, bedmatics, looks, age, parentage, employment, employer, school attended, school grades, religion (even within each religion, it depend if it is Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical or the denominational name or Sunni Muslim or Shiite Muslim, Buddhism, Wicca, Hinduism, Sikhism, Judaism, etc, etc), smile, facial features, physical built, legs, bosom, backside, body figure, comportment, zodiac sign, hair, etc...the list goes on... But is it right to judge the conditions that each person decide to place on love? Yes, some conditions are laughable e.g. legs, figure 8, zodiac signs, physical built, etc; but does that mean that, those whose conditions are things like good upbringing, spirituality, demeanor, character, etc are in more love than those whose condition are legs, money, zodiac sign or figure 8? You might say, good upbringing, spirituality, etc are not material and they last...yes they are not material, but are you sure they last the longest? Is the world not a stage and we are all actors that appear for just a short while and disappear? Is it not true that, the only permanent thing about life is change? If the love whose condition is money and riches disappears when those riches grows wing, what made you think that the love whose condition is character will continue to thrive when those characters ceases to exist and the person turns a new leave or when the spiritual person ceases to be spiritual?..Yes, you will continue to married that person even with his/her now nonspiritual state, but, is that not settling or resolving to fate? Is that really love? will you have married that person in his/her current spiritual state if you have the opportunity of a do-over? My summation?...love is love and it is in the eyes of the beholder and the beholder only can know the conditions attached to his/her love and all conditions have varying weights and values and depends on the beholder...and everyone else should respect the love and adjoin it the values and weights the lover have ascribed to it, irrespective of the conditions used to arrive at that love. What do you thing? |

Will need to get some time to enjoy the flavour of this thesis. Only Q to op is Will you prefer to be left to your devices, and not be questioned regarding the thought processes preceding your arrival at your conclusion. |

Tedpgrass: I believe people should be open to advise and by all means, give advice when you see fit...but each person should be given the benefit of a doubt to make their own decision and that decision should be accorded the highest regards regardless of the criteria they use. e.g. Kehinde's riches might be one of the reasons or conditions that made Bola to love him and wanting to marry him. It will be unfair and disrespectful for Biodu, Bola's course mate to insist that Bola does not truly love Kehinde and that Bola only love Kehinde's money...while at the same time praising Abigail another classmate for loving Amos despite the fact that Amos is not rich and moreso that Amos is spiritual and of good family background...whereas spirituality and good family background is Abigail's condition....is it not erroneous for Biodu to equate love with each of these conditions or their lack? |
