The world teaches that there are reactions to every action. It also teaches that some actions are acceptable while others aren't. I would like to add that some actions will never make sense even while the person is performing them. It may feel right but when asked to explain how it works the person may fumble for words or might simply smile and shrug. We all experience it at some point, have grown up with a sample of it, but when it’s the right time, we all feel it at its capacity and are driven by its energy.
What is this feeling?
We claim that it hits us in a mere moment and is unshakable We recognize its presence but can’t comprehend its substance. We can live it out in minute and grand gestures but can fail to explain our motives.
What is this feeling?
Love. Not just simple love, though that might not even exist, but unconditional. I would dare to say that real, true love can only be unconditional. When the desires for ourselves are outweighed by those we have for others. We welcome pain when it means that it is shielded from another. There is no sacrifice too great, no distance too far, nor time too long that could dissuade us. No fault too large, no past too dark, no words too grand. Love conquers all. And in that indescribable moment when we feel and know all of these things to be true for this one person the eyes of our soul are widened and can never be the same. We no longer live for ourselves alone, but are joined in heart to that person.
That is love.
