Love & Let Go - Arrival

It is possible to fall in love for reasons other than physical ones.
No, it is not.
 

It is possible to love a person without knowing anything except their traits.
Nope, not possible.
 

It is the original form of love to fall in love with a person without knowing their caste, clan, religious status, financial background or any other such mundane factors.
No, these are all essential details to be considered before loving a person.
 

It is possible to find one’s soul-mate, who is exactly as one sees in the mind’s eyes.
No, it is not, you are hallucinating.
 

OK, least of all, allow me to think that love is magical and supreme.
Nope, that’s a stupid feeling, you get married to someone and get settled before you turn mad with such thoughts.

Imagine living with such hopes and hoarse voices in one’s heart and ears for years together. Sounds like a curse? Indeed, it is. Such conflicts can seed self-doubts in one’s mind and make life miserable for one. Anyone who holds hopes about finding love is ridiculed these days. Just the same way someone who believes in a tooth-fairy is. Only difference is that one does not want money for one’s tooth, but just love in return for one’s love.

There are two choices that face such a trusting mind – either to give up all the hopes of finding true love and pure bonding, get to the ways of the masses and settle for something that is secure and safe, or to keep clinging on to such beliefs and continue being mocked by the vast majority that didn’t wait to find true love but instead took a safe bet with whatever thing life placed in their paths first.

While most minds choose the easiest path out, giving up hopes of finding love, settling instead for emotional safety and security of loyalty in life, some minds stick to their hopes. Like those little Japanese kids who still believe that if they love their doll truly and sincerely, those dolls might come to life some day or the other and start playing with them.

How blissful will it be for the child when the doll truly comes alive some day! The kid can happily cock a snook at all those people who ridiculed the belief, mocked the dreams and derided the determination. Similarly, imagine the bliss of the hopeful lover when he finally finds his beloved in flesh and blood - someone who perfectly matches every hue of his dreams, fills every crevice of his heart, heals every bruise in his mind and fits snugly into his vacant dents of his soul, all before he even thinks of confessing his love!

Someone who brings light and love into the barrenness of his existence, pulls him out of his mundane worries, gives a jolt to his slumbering soul and makes his life flow again! Someone that makes him feel love all over again, brightens his heart’s dark corners, makes him fall in love all over again, across ages, spaces and time, renews his belief in love, proves it to him that it is possible to love not due to appearance, caste, religion, peculiar traits, carnal sensations, the similarity in tastes and interests, but to just love for the sake of love, that mysterious force which is keeping the Universe moving for long!
