Love is the only way...

Love is the only way to know another person in real. This is the only way any living being can really know another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can really know another human being until and unless she loves her.

By her love she is enabled to see the essential traits and features in the other person; and even more, she sees that which is potential in herself, which is not yet actualized but yet ought to be actualized.
Furthermore, by her love, the loving person enables the loved person to actualize these potentialities. By making her aware of what she can be and of what she should become, she makes these potentialities come true. You see, by loving someone, it is not only that you do some good to the person being loved, but you automatically enrich yourself.

In a way love is the ultimate means of Creativity. A thing, aspect, or an attribute takes a thing of beautiful creative expression when seen from the the angle of pure love.

The capacity to love is a human faculty that has to be advanced voluntarily. Being in the lineage of apes, we actually do not posses this faculty by birth. Since birth, love the way we know is not a love in real sense. It is rather "need". I baby does not love her parents. She needs them. Out of that need, the bond grows. This tempo is carried forward in adult life even. We love another human being based on concrete, pre-defined conditions. When the conditions are compromised, love ceases to be present. There is nothing wrong or right in this. It is the way we are designed.

But, to be able to develop the kind of love, which can be blessed on upon any one and every one, one needs to discipline oneself. One needs to forgo being judgmental and egotist by choice. This is an virtue which is not pre-designed in humans. But it can be developed with practice. Having attained this advancement in consciousness, a person's life is filled with happiness and wellbeing. As these are just side-effects of being in love.

Love is the only context on which a civilization can flourish, a culture can grow, an inheritance passed over. There is no other way.
