A friend of mine once used this line in a conversation with me;
“Lionel, do u know that love makes the world go round?”
My answer was;
“How?”
And this was his reply;
Love means having a strong feeling for one, this strong feeling which we feel for one another sometimes could be mistaken for something else (Lust).
Love makes us do craze things, makes us cry, makes us laugh, makes us betray just for the one we love, makes us sing, makes us do things we never imagined we could do.
Least I forget, let me correct one wrong impression we all have about love, Love never makes you do crazy things instead you do things which are branded in the love-world as unimaginable.
“Peter stop wasting time and cut to the chase, how does the world spin with love?”
Imagine a world where everyone shows love freely without checking for abnormalities like; race/tribe, skin colour, deformity, class or social status e.t.c. Imagine a world where the rich open their doors freely to every poor man on the street to come-in and wine and dine with them. Imagine a world where each human life is equal irregardless of religion (Islam or Christianity).
What sustains this kind of world?
Answer: LOVE!
Here is a story of a friend of mine who had a girlfriend, who he claimed he was so much in love with. They had spent a total of 8years together going through thick and thin, ups and downs. Coming back when being separated.
On one of those occasions I asked him a question;
Why don’t you go look for someone else, instead of patching up all the time?
He replied; “Lio I cant imagine going out with anyone else, because Rebecca is the most beautiful girl I have ever met.
That’s nice! What should matter the most when it comes to the matters of the heart?
Looks, Beauty or Character?
Pick your best option, but mine is Character.
Relations based on looks, outward appearances are like time bombs waiting to explode and when they do just imagine the calamity they leave in their trail.
One person always stays hurt from such experiences and might pass it on to his or her next. Who becomes the victim?
The Cheater or Cheated?
Now do the Mathematics, if relationships keep on ending on a bad note and people keep on falling out of love what does that result into; a world full of hatred, distrust and wickedness.
Lets drop all our hurts from past experiences and try loving someone today, not just loving because we want to but because the world depends on it, and in the time to come maybe when we are no more the world will be a better place spinning twice as fast as it is now, because a little love every now and then makes the world go round.
