Day-24


LIKE Vs LOVE
*****************
There is one word in english language that can precisely differentiate between the two Ls( Love and Like ) quoted above. That one word is undoubtedly " Expectation ". Yes, most of would not want to believe this, but not wanting to believe it does not do away with the Truth. When we Like we expect while when we Love we have no expectation, it is sort of one sided irrespective of the other. If we like a flower we pluck it and keep or gift it but when we love it we water it( inspired ). Hope the exapmle which opened up my senses have justified yours too. Thus, it is love when we have no expectations. there is not expectations between us and our parents, irrespective of anything we would be together. This is love.
Ask a tree what pure love is? Right from its birth it never learnt to expect. No matter how it was treated it always believed in giving and serving. From leaves, flowers, fruits and its own body ( Wood ) it never said no to anything. We Humans do not pay heed to go and show our love in return. We are selfish and try to satisfy our hunger with expectations. The day we give this up we would realize what love is. But sadly, we would never.  Does not a tree weep when it is cut? Yes it does, but only for the sake of love. Does not a tree feel hurt when it sees its fellow partner beside it being cut when they both have lived for years and centuries? We kill their friends and families not thinking even for a second what trauma it might be in but the tree still bears fruit. It never says no, cause that is the nature it possesses.
Humans are just weak beings and to be 1% what a tree is would still make him worth this world.

Learning : If you loved, tears would still be there but with a smile. If you liked, tears would be there but without a smile. So one knows what like or love truely is.
