The word love means a lot to different people. I read a poem written by my friend about love. She wrote not about the selfish kind of love but the perfect, genuine, selfless kind of love. The true love binding people in a family, community, state, country and the world as a whole. This peom got me thinking about what we see in the society. So here is the poem:
LOVE
Love is a variety of feelings
attitude, affection, pleasure.
Love is an emotion, a strong attraction
A personal attachment.
Love keeps human beings together
Love is a stronger form of like contrasted with hate
against menace
Love facilitates the continuation of species
Love cares for a person
Love conquers all
Love is to will the good of another
delighted by the happiness of another
Love is virtue representing human kindness
Love is compassionate, affectionate
unselfish, loyal and benevolent for the good of others.

The last verse of the poem got me thinking, she wrote and i quote " Love is a virtue representing human kindness Love is compassionate, affectionate, unselfish, loyal and benevolent for the good of others". A question struck me: Do we have or rather exhibit this kind of love? Even I myself got to realize that it is not in all cases i exhibit this kind of love.I got to understand that there's nothing like partial love, its either true love or no love at all. The love am referring to is not the love that comes along with feelings for another person but the kind of Love Jesus Christ exhibited to us; the pure Love of the Almighty to mankind.Thinking evil thoughts about others isn't love. We cant love some people and hate others. We have to strive to attain that perfect kind of love, love for our fellow men, love for everyone around us no matter the ethnicity, religion or whatsoever.
Remember there's no greater Law in creation than The Law Of Love.
