i dare you,
to define love...
no, not those nonsense young love...
but true, unconditional love.
the one that's eternal and everlasting.
have you caught yourself catching the tears from your eyes,
did you find yourself reminded of love every time you do something,
or see someone or touch something?
then now,
i dare you,
to define love...
"cinta itu memberi, cinta itu mendengar, cinta itu berkorban, cinta itu tanggungjawab, cinta itu mendoakan dan cinta itu memaafkan."
I don't have a dictionary. sorry. haha

ReplyDeleteLove is a feeling that appear in a sudden shine of light. Its a light that you yourself must hold to walk your path or it will be gone. Love makes you smile, makes you cry, makes you touch. Love is an abstract feeling that can't be compared to science and fiction fantasies. Love is not something that you pick and throw. Its like a flow of emotions that give you strength. Love makes you suffer but with love, it brings you back together. Love doesn't count miles but it counts trust. Love will not fade if you believe in it but it will never come if you are afraid. Its better to cry for love than not having love because love give you the experience of life. Love is lesson not a risk. A man's heart is different from each other. He cries, but that tears are hopes that she would come back for him. Its not about the definitions, its about what's in your heart.
ReplyDelete@anonymous- love has no same definition to any one person. when love is felt, then we cannot describe what it is. we can just throw words out there, but at the end of the day, we know that those words are just not enough. at the end of the day, we just know what it is and it stays so near to us. that last sentence pulls it all together and exactly where i was getting at. thanks for sharing your thoughts.
ReplyDeletewords have no meaning if we talk about love. never it had any impact towards anything when we talk about love in our lives. Actions make up everything. From action we realized how much the love is owned.
ReplyDeleteLove won't have a meaning until you taste, experience, share and deal with it. The meaning changes from time to time. The farther you go in life, the more you understand about love. That's why you can never define the word love, something that's abstract. Human tends to understate and overstate the definition. One thing for sure, love is everything that people need to appreciate.
ReplyDelete"The farther you go in life, the more you understand about love". That's your sentence. I agreed on that, totally but do you?
ReplyDelete"That's why you can never define the word love, something that's abstract". From this sentence, it means that basically definitions will not and never will tell us the meaning of love. If that is true, why asked for definitions and why answer it? Why dare for definitions if you know there will be no true answer?
"One thing for sure, love is everything that people need to appreciate". You appreciate love, that is great. What kind of appreciation are you talking about if you have the feeling that it will fade? What kind of appreciation is that if you never try to make it shine? What kind of appreciation is that if a decision is made in your mind in a split second? What kind appreciation is that if there is no trust and believe in you?
@anonymous:
ReplyDeleteYou can argue anything that I've written but, does your argument have a purpose? Tell me if there is. It sounded like you have more experience than I do, which is good.
You've come to the point where you are actually answering your own question. For the first question, why do you even bother asking someone if he/she understands a thing? Even, if I do understand the word love, it only works best for me. It's a piece of art which doesn't have an exact meaning.
And you definitely got me wrong somewhere in your statement. I didn't ask for any definitions as the meaning varies for each person.
"That's why you can never define the word love, something that's abstract". What I mean by writing this, you could not ask someone to define the word love for you. It does not work that way. We have a different life that teach us different things. I'd also say that there must be something that works best for all of us.
Your last paragraph is not meant to be answered. You've questioned yourself based on your writing. Isn't that why love needs to be appreciated? Perhaps, you shouldn't ask people how they appreciate things, that's something left for them to choose. They'd do anything that might look good for them but,they could always fall in making a mistake.
I'd never say you are wrong in any cases.
Love works in any way and with anyone. The way you felt it my be different but the way it works is the same. If its different that the world is unfair.
ReplyDelete"i dare you,
to define love..."
explain this to me. Things can always work but things won't work if one stop in a sudden and never look back after what he/she has done.
The last paragraph is not for to answer, its for you. You said we might choose to appreciate things the way we want but if that appreciation is not the right one, what do you call it then?
You're understanding of the word love is in a way that a mind thinks. Sorry, this is what i felt. No offense. Something can work for all of us but that something is for you to find. It won't come with an invitation.
The reason why I asked how you appreciate love was because if love you are feeling then you can never answer the questions.
You are free to think whichever way you want. Thanks for the opinions given. I shall keep that in mind.
oooh this is a hot topic i see.
ReplyDeletebut perhaps my point was to ask, was love just a thought before this?
has the thought led to actions?
must the actions be known?
...just as prayers are between you and your Sustainer,
love is only understood (yet again, a word just to express because we don't know what love does to us) by you,
and for me, it is an answered prayer, alhamdulilah.
thanks for all the inputs anonymous"es".
may He gives us continuous hidayah and show us things as they are. amiin.
I've been reading the comments from this anonymous people for quite sometime now. From what I think, both of you have the same way of thinking about love which is its not something that we can succeed and touch or think as if love is fact in life.
ReplyDeleteLove can be defined from my perspective, but it can only be defined with sayings from the heart and it can never be written down. I don't think its wrong for one of these anonymous to ask about appreciation of love I guess. Questions that he/she asked about appreciation showed that yes, he/she had experience in this issue and yes, from what I think as well, if one really felt the feeling of love, then trust me, even I can't answer those questions which I still can't until today. Smart thinking thou. You can choose many ways to appreciate love but the ways you use might open up questions. Maybe that's why he's asking. Don't get offended another anonymous.haha.
Anonymous, love doesn't only work the best for one but for all. I'm sorry but this is what I felt as well. Meanings and the way love works have no chemistry in each other because they are independent. For me, it depends on how we accept love.
I like the sentence "Love won't have a meaning until you taste, experience, share and deal with it". This is totally true.
Atiqah: Love was never a thought, love makes you do actions without thinking. If you have love in every actions you do, then he would have known. Well, I did. Again, you won't know what love does until you taste, try and deal with it like the anonymous said. That's the principle of life. God created love everywhere but its up to us to make it happen.
Once again, I really feel that both of you anonymous"es" are right in any sense about love. Maybe the way you approach it is different. If we have the same view in any sense then we will all end up with the same story.
Sorry if I offend anyone's feelings in this but i'm just saying what I think and felt.
Either ways, i still love the person i love more than anyone else. No one could compete. =)
ReplyDeleteGreat. Hope for the best for you. Start your love with the truth and end it with the truth.
