Price of Love
It
would be naïve to think of making love without one’s readiness/preparedness to
pay its price and it would be utopian naïveté to practice this belief. What we
should accept in our real life is naïve realism.
We
generally hold on to such ideologies, which due to being impractical or too
idealistic in nature, remain only unfulfilled. As such, it is useless to nurture
such utopian thoughts.
With
respect to love also, we remain too idealistic and never think about love in
pragmatic terms / parlance. As a result, we are disappointed and have setbacks in
the long run in our voyage of life.
When
we say that we should make unconditional love, we are absolutely wrong because
love can never be made unconditionally. With love, conditions are already implied
and or attached which we are not able to discern and sense as we ignore for our
convenience and ease. Love can bloom, flourish and sustain for ever only in
certain conditions. If those conditions are ignored or bypassed, the castle of
love falls flat on its own surface.
Love,
therefore, asks for its own price to be paid but not in the form of currency;
one has to pay the price for everything one gets in life. Love asks for its
price in the form of passion, care, sacrifice, understanding, appreciation, trust
and belief, adjustment and compromise et all; and if not paid, love does not
sustain and start diminishing, withering away and finally vanishes from the
life.
Therefore,
to succeed in love, we must be prepared to pay the price for loving or for being
loved. Indifference to these above conditions by the person will only lead to
his failure in love.
