From the times immemorial we have been talking about love..in our wishes, in our prayers, in our history, in our stories..and everyone of us has wondered at some point or the other..why we have never been in the kind of love that is being talked about..the platonic one..the one which involves soul..the one which could change our lives forever from the core..the magical one that makes us glide and float and fly..we have ‘tried’ to be in versions of it, but only very very few fortunates of us have actually experienced it in true sense..Rest of us think that we have but all we have drowned in is the idea of it and not in the actual bliss!
I did some thinking and herez how I reasoned myself on the Extinction of LOVE! (Feel free to disagree..)
Half of world’s LOVE was coffin-ated when they fed us with “We only TRULY LOVE once!”..when they failed to understand its a feeling, and how can one can ever be devoid of it unless one wants to be in that despair of one lost love, which might not have been love at all, for the world and life are too big to truly love just enough lest once..fools full of ignorance!!
Major Fraction was evaporated by formally instituitionalizing it..by inventig marriages...when the foundation and core of LOVE is to not be bound in any way..it should be as natural and as organic between two as it can be..not documented with Government! Senseless!!
The rest was put to ashes, when they stopped reinvention of it in any kind..”Love is for kids and young!”..Parents or elders are only meant to cater to the needs of the family..When parents give each other ‘time’, they are being selfish and irresponsible..are u serious!!
Some Love in the world still thrived and remained..but was choked down by brain-hacking individuals and telling them to bear and tolerate ‘unhappy’ ‘dysfunctional’ marriages and never search for love ever again..for who is gonna accept someone who has “been” with else..They are the same ones who boast of LOVE not being something physical but platonic, spiritual..golden hypocrisy!!
And as if this was not enough, Whatever lil was left, was not even allowed to even breathe at its inception or expression..given several socially unacceptable tags and tattoos..and was prohibited and made extinct in several subtle and brutal ways..homosexuality, inappropriate-age/class/religion/ethnicity-differences etc..crap!!
And this is how the FEELING of LOVE became extinct..it became more of a dream-worldly-thing..or things that are only found in books and movies..for people had failed to EXPRESS AND EXPERIENCE what it really meant to be in love, and only remembered it as per the rule-book, as per the propagated idea of it..chatting over calls or texts for hours without actually understanding one another, gifts on apt occassions and throwing parties, fancy creative proposals, alcohol-istic heartbreaks, pda is synonymous to vulgarity and what not!!
Not that I am against any of the rule-book thingies..good if they are accompanied with actual Love and not served as compensation or replacement for the same!!
Nothing more is dangerous to any feeling than propagating or living in a wrong idea of what THAT actually is!
Friendly Declaration - This is mostly in context of Indian culture..talks bout one particular kind of love..and may not hold true or cool for many..
