An Essay on Love..

 

 

Recently there was an essay competition held in schools for children,

 

where mygrand-daughter was given the topic of Give Love Get Love. They

 

also had to say how peace and friendship in society would benefit an

 

individual.

 

Below is the thinking of my grand-daughter. Of course I have helped

 

her a bit here and there in rephrasing the words wherever felt

 

necessary.

 

Give Love Get Love

 

How does peace and friendship in society benefit the individual.

First and the foremost to understand and to take this essay forward we

 

need to have clarity on the definition of the word Love.

 

Love is a word which has a very vast meaning; it is more of an

 

experience and a feeling than a thing that can be physically taken and

 

given by force. The meaning of love thus might differ from a person to

 

person. It is something which cannot be forced upon neither to be

 

given nor to be taken.

 

In general love is the feeling of warmth, affection, worship, peace,

 

serenity etc which ultimately makes you feel happy and fulfilled.

 

It gives you a feeling of completeness in everything within and around

 

you.

 

Love is an expression of all that is good and balanced within an

 

individual, and contradictory differences vanish in its healing

 

embrace.

 

" The giving of love is therefore the gaining of love. " This proverb

 

says that we must give love to others and by doing this we will get

 

their love in return. It stresses the importance that we should be

 

kind and helpful toward others. When we are good to others, they will

 

also be good towards us and will not do us any harm.

 

In today's world you can never expect anything to be one-sided

 

similarly, as an individual if your want love, peace, respect and

 

happiness the first step is to start giving it.

 

It is always better to spread love and be good towards others.

 

Citing a generic example of a student in a class; if she is good to

 

other students and is polite and kind, others will also behave in a

 

similar manner. If he or she is arrogant and selfish nobody will help

 

her and she will only make more enemies.

 

It is very important for us not to make unnecessary enemies. Man is

 

a social animal. We need each others help. Giving love and respect to

 

others will ensure that we get the same in return.

Nobody gains from hatred. It is not good to have enemies.

 

There are situations which can be easily resolved by talking but

 

often it takes an ugly turn when people fight and gets hurt.

This hatred does not benefit anyone.

We must realize that we have just one life and if our precious time is

 

spent in fighting and hatred nothing would be gained. Some people even

 

go to the extent of killing the other person due to the hatrePeople

 

who spend their life in hating others and making enemies ruin their

 

own life in the long run. Such people may also need some psychiatric

 

help in the end.

 

In order to receive, we first must give. Look at those certain people

 

in your life who you feel are not very accepting towards you, and make

 

it your project to accept them--exactly the way they are! When they

 

feel this love and acceptance, they won't be able to hold onto their

 

unforgiveness much longer.

 

Trying to understand this concept in a deeper sense in light of human

 

philosophy; first and the foremost we need to shed out all the

 

negative feelings that we have for a individual and it might very well

 

start from the thought that the other person does not like, love or

 

have an interest in you, this would automatically make you start

 

liking that person and bring in happiness within you when you think

 

that he/she love and likes me. Automatically your expression, behavior

 

and feeling would change positively towards that person and send out

 

positive vibes.

 

The opposite person would definitely receive these positive vibes and

 

there is no reason for him not to reciprocate and thus there is a

 

feeling of Peace, Friendship & Happiness.

 

With the same principle being applied by everyone in the society

 

definitely results in mutual benefit to individuals in society and

 

thus benefiting the society at large.

 

Hence give love and get love. This would automatically generate Peace,

 

brotherhood, friendship, Happiness and ultimately success of an

 

individual.

 

Giving love to others will not only benefit us and make our life

 

successful, happy and peaceful but would improve the society at large.

 

Thus Giving Love & Getting Love.

 

This will ultimately bring in peace and happiness in your life

 

And in the society at large & #133;.
