Just think about it, what is love, Have you ever falling in love before, if you have, accept my heartfelt sympathy, if you haven't thank whichever God you believe in and a piece of advice stay away for love. If you want to be happy, love is not for you but if you want to be happy still love is for you. You cannot know the true meaning of hurting if you've never falling in love and can only truly feel hurt by someone only when you care for them. At the same time you cannot comprehend what love is if you've never gone through a world of hurt, if someone has never taken you heart, smashed it on the wall, took the pieces, pounded it into powder, blended it into paste and either feed it to you or blew it right in your face, And even after that, you just love the person even more, and then you've loved. I had always thought personal that although love existed, humans were usually incapable of loving and only few of us can actually truly love and even that is relative to an extent.
What exactly is love anyway, a lot of people have said a lot of misguided nonsense about what love is supposed to be some say "love is trust", some say "care", some even go as far as saying "love is the feeling you get like butterflies in your stomach when someone you care for is around you", my dear you go vomit, it's not love you're actually feeling nauseated, some others say "love is when you discover you can't do without or live without someone", my dear have you not be leaving before you meet that person, you're just simply either obsessed with that person or suffering a bad case of infatuation.
But what truly is love? Love is what a mother feelings for her baby as soon as he is born, the only love at first sight that exist actually. Love is jumping in front of a trailer to save someone you've don't know; love is what give mothers the power to lift cars off their babies if they have to. In short love is God and God, love. Am not trying to be spiritual but think about it, for a supreme being to sacrifice his only beget just for the fact that he loves you, and for his beget to willingly agree to the will of his father also for that same love he shares for you if that's not love then I don't know what is. Love is the ability to sacrifice anything including your life for the sake of someone else', love is giving your all to someone no matter how ungrateful and unmerited that person is. Love is when mothers stay hungry to feed their children, love is when fathers carter for the family with every fibre of their being and totally neglecting themselves, love is when your brother receives a bullet for you, love is the ultimate sacrifice you can give to anyone.
Still think you are capable of loving I don't think so, if you still do you deserved to be idolized and made a god, if you don't then trust me you are what you are human, the only true love I believe exist is the love of God. Someone wrote that the greatest gift of mankind was love, but I beg to differ, although love is the greatest commandment and testimony, what exactly allows us to love is hope, hope is the greatest gift of mankind, its hope that allows us to survive, hope allows us to keeping living without giving up, without hope, man would die out, would have giving up anytime new obstacles faced them, man has survival instincts, the drive to survive at all cost and the belief it will survive is driven by hope, that survival instinct is hope.
If you are conversant with Greek mythology, you will know the story of Pandora's box, after man was made, Prometheus the titan of mankind also the first man, was giving a wife by Zeus the king of the gods, called Pandora, she was the first woman and was engineered by Hephaestus with a lot of qualities including curiosity and stubbornness to cause the fall of man unknown to Prometheus, to further celebrate their wedding, Pandora was giving a box by Zeus that was sealed shut and was warned never to open it. And after a period of time she kept to the instruction until one day, her curiosity could not allow her the fact that she didn't know what was in the box, she thought to herself what could one peck do, and decided to look inside the box, at the brief moment she opened the box, every gift of mankind including eternal life went out of the box and when she shut it back the only gift of mankind remaining was hope which was the greatest gift of mankind.
And with hope anything can be lived through believing the future is going to be better and not worst, hope is what allows us to love and live, while achieving love is basically and nearly impossible, hope on the other hand is for everyone, everyone cannot but have hope and anyone can hope, and when life is hopeless then it's not worth living, and there's a popular saying that goes "when there's life there's hope and when there's hope there is life", it's also similar to the saying that goes "when there's a will there's a way and when there's a way there is will", its hope that gives you the will to find a way and keep moving forward, it's that same hope that gives you faith, faith is the evidence of things hoped for and not seen, as much as love is a beautiful thing, its survival is slim without hope. Beyond reasonable doubt, hope truly is the greatest gift of mankind.
