What is love?


"4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." (1 Corinthians 13)

Have been thinking over the same question over these few nights, 'what is love?' And I found my answer in the Bible. A very classic line, but it is always true. Love is patience, kindness, and not self-seeking. Love is without reservation. Love with your whole heart. Do not ask for return.

Have been trying to let go of someone these days, and I kept myself in a deadlock of not letting him go away from my mind. Everyday morning when I woke up, I would think, 'Why he did this to me?'. It is not love, but a feeling of unwilling to be the loser in this love battle. After reading this line, I know that it is not worthwhile to try keeping one to myself, while he does not even consider your feeling. Love is neither selfishness nor about boasting.

We were in sorrow and we have tried to escape. Then, we learn to let go. And begin a new chapter.
