“LOVE – neither can you learn, nor can you practice, nor can you dispense it. It is just a flowering.”
Love is a special feeling that one feels for another. Talking about love mean selflessness, unconditional and without expectation, and full devotion towards the partner. If it is a ‘Conditions Apply’ scenario, then it isn’t true love. Love is a very sincere relationship. Love is pure which purifies your soul. You fully accept your partner. Distance and time hardly matter in love. It does not require being together, not even talking or meeting over the years. Even after the ages, when you meet you will feel refreshed. This is a great feeling that one can observe once one falls into it. A relationship which are beyond labels and not limited to what we speak, or how often we meet, is about how we feel and think about each other. Most importantly it emits energy that can be felt only by someone who is in love.
On the contrary, people having ‘affairs’ are common these days where people running behind pleasures. An affair is all about the individual. The person thinks about how the other person makes them feel, whether is it worth it, whether should we continue this, etc. Most of the time, people are not committed to the relationship, which is not long-lasting. If things are not worked out for them, they move on from the relationship and break up the relationship. Love isn’t a commercial commodity. When you say ‘I Love You’ it should be bottom of your heart. When you are promising your love to someone it should be for your entire life. You might just be ruining someone’s life by breaking your commitment. This indicates the selfishness of the individuals. There would be lust, expectations, and looks for a return on investment (time, money). An affair is a sexual relationship or a romantic friendship or a passionate attachment between two people. It is important to understand the difference between attractions, attachment, crush, etc this cannot be real love. Yes, these can be short time relationships.
It is important to understand the difference between love and affairs as people mostly feel disheartened when their partner leaves them by calling it a “Breakup”. In love, there is nothing called “Break-up” or “Move-on”, love is forever. Well, only a few people are able to understand who actually had a deep relationship.
“Some men can love forever, some for six years, some for six months, and others for six hours.”
Guys, well, let me make it clear that I am not against affairs or any relationship. I do not intend to highlight which is better. It depends on person-to-person, how they wanted to pursue their life. My only intention is to highlight the difference between a passing affair and real love. Being in love or having an occasional affair is two different things. For me, real love is a supreme relationship, and for that, it hardly matters whether we are getting pleasure or not. The only thing that matter is that your partner should always be happy.
