Calendar Books by Allen James reading for October 12th, from "The Journey: A Calendar Book",
"Fall in love at least once in your life".
Do we as human beings have a choice as to whether we fall in love one time or 400 times? When we over...view the varying types of love we encounter in our lives: Storge love ... or affection; Phileo love...or friendship; Eros love...or romance; Agape love...or unconditional love, we realize love is an aspect of our emotions we would find it difficult to dodge over our lifetime; love isn't a choice, but a gift; we choose whether to accept the gift or to refuse it.
Yet when talking about the ONE time we fall in love we find falling in love happens at least once in everyone’s life. We meet someone somewhere who causes our heart to miss a beat and makes the person more important than the rest of the universe. Ideologists explain it as a strong feeling of caring about someone which gives us an immense pleasure. Cynics identify it as a folly of mind while for lovers it is the power which makes the world go, not round but wild.
The conviction we are loved is perhaps the supreme happiness in our lives, which often turns into a tragedy afterwards. First love, no doubt, is the most beautiful thing we experience Just recall your first fall, you might not remember anything but pure madness keeping you above from all worldly considerations. Purity and perplexity are the real beauty of first affair. Initially an aficionado creates hundred of excuses for having a glimpse of his sweetheart, then become completely dumb or in some cases turns into a chatterbox in front of his beloved. Whether it’s a first sight love or a fore sight incidence, it arises such tender sentiments transform an ordinary person into a poet, writer, singer or an artist at some point of life.
However, first love is often destined to die before it flourishes and leaves its victims in the world of despair and gloom where they shed tears on sad filmy songs and ghazals while saving the memories of their beloved in diaries with faded flowers. But it doesn’t take them long to come out of this trauma and meet other nice people around them. So life goes on like this. If first love is irreplaceable, second is almost a reflex action — a desperate attempt to fill the gap created by the first one. Dejected souls badly need a companion to share their feelings and raise their shattered self-esteem with acceptance and emotional support.
So in matters of heart, once beaten often becomes twice bold.
Today’s media crazy generation has seen and heard so much rubbish about media generated romance its thoughts are fully contaminated by bigger than life images. They are unable to differentiate between lust and love. Those who can afford it, change their sweethearts with fashion, mood and season. They idealise their favourite movie and sport stars and imitate filmy style in their love lives. Most of them truly reflect the saying: ‘tu nahi aur sahi, aur nahi aur sahi’ (if not thou, someone else, if not him/her anyone else)
Accept the gift of true love at least once in your life. Experiencing full fledged love changes us for the better, each time we allow it to.
Keep looking up. : ) AJ
