#2 - The Essence of Love

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Alhamdulillah, credit to abg irwan, i read this from his post in fb, tersentuhla baca..


"I love you because all the loves in the world are like different rivers flowing into the same lake, 
where they meet and are transformed into a single love that becomes rain and blesses the earth.
I love you like a river that gives water to the thirsty and takes people where they want to go.
I love you like a river which understands that it must learn to flow differently over waterfalls 
and to rest in the shallows.
I love you because we are all born in the same place, at the same source,
which keeps us provided with a constant supply of water. 
And so, when we feel weak, all we have to do is wait a little. 
The spring returns, the winter snows melt and fill us with new energy.
I receive your love and I give you mine.
Not the love of a man for a woman, not the love of a father for a child, 
not the love of God for his creatures.
But a love with no name and no explanation
Like a river that cannot explain why it follows a particular course, but simply flows onwards.
A love that asks for nothing and gives nothing in return; it is simply there. 
I will never be yours and you will never be mine;
nevertheless, I can honestly say: I love you..."
~Paulo Coelho~

And me simply agree with him, said that: our understanding of love is constantly bombarded by the media, from the lewd lyrics of american musics to movies about korean romantics, love become overly sensualized..

Betul kan, besar sebenarnye makna cinta ni, tapi skrg ni susahnya nk lafazkan istilah sy cinta kamu, sy sayang kamu, sbb masyarakat (ataupun kita sendiri) lbh cenderung bila cakap love2 je, mesti fikir cinta lelaki dan perempuan, dan ianya berbeza dgn cinta hamba kpd tuhan, cinta seorg ank kpd ibubapa, cinta adikberadik, cinta seorg sahabat or anything yg menyebabkan kita tak selesa or segan nak melafazkn rasa cinta tu apetah lg dgn insan yg berlainan jantina, takut timbul salah faham yg kita syok kat dia, nanti kena kawin pula, hehe :P 

Kalau melafazkan tu payah dan akn menimbulkan kekeliruan dan tanda tanya, cukupla sekadar menunjukkan kasih syg dgn perbuatan, saling menasihati, saling tolong menolong, taking care each other, bg present dsb..mudah kan! 

Padahal cinta tu sama je, rasa kasih sayang tak kirala pd sesiapa pun kita nak berbagi, ianya fitrah. Bezanya quantity and quality cinta tu (sejak bile cinta boleh dikira? mungkin perkiraan tnpe menggunakn calculator lol). yelah, korang mesti lebih cintakan family korang dari saya kan?? :D

Till then, I love You all *wink*
