To Love or Not Be Loved

There are times in our live when we hesitate of doing things, even when we are so sure about that. But there are also times when we are not  sure of what to do, and yet we did certain things because we have to do it.

Such a dilemmatic situation occurs from time to time; from choosing what to eat during breakfast, what to wear on an important presentation, how to move certain people to certain level of management, up to whether we should go on with our long lasting relationship or to simply end it with grace.

Human relationship is actually a human itself, because like human being it needs to be fed, nourished, nurtured, touched, and it also needs attention, affection, and most of all it needs time to grow.

How could we say we love something, unless we learn about it and grow to like it, until certain time passed and we feel we have a need of it. So,  before we know it, we have accustomed to be with it, to live with it, to have it, to make it a part of our daily live or we are part of it's live.

Just like that, from simply  a fraction of our live, love has became a major part of our live.

As difficult as human relationship, love is even more complicated!

Problem is, we love to be in love and we also love to love because love is one of the basic human needs.

A good love story doesn't always have a happy ending, in fact the most beautiful and famous love story has a very sad and tragic ending, that is love between young pretty Juliet with her handsome Romeo.

Nevertheless,  such story doesn't discourage people to take their own love endeavour, hoping that maybe they could be much luckier than Romeo and Juliet.

Like any good accomplishment, love has many facets. Some people are lucky enough to love and be loved.  Some has to accept their love being vanished, untouched by person they hope to love them back.  Some have to endure lots of complicated things before finally find their true love.  Some just have to open their eyes to see their love right in front of them.

Very few people were blessed with love at the first sight.  I myself used to be among those who doesn't believe in this fairy tale, until I personally know one of my friend, whom now has been married for more than 18 (yes eighteen) years, told me that he knew he's in love with his wife from the very first time he set eyes on her. If you think that's not romantic enough, let me tell you this, up until this very minute he is still madly in love with her.

So,  for better of for worse,  through sick and sin,  in healthy and wealthy,  in happy and sad,  for whatever reason or cause, don't stop your pursue for love.  Please ... do fall in love.

Let's  just hope that the process of falling in love could be much much more simpler so we can focus on it and accept it without any reservation.

Like Led Zeppelin said in their Immigrant Song,

".... On we sweep with, with threshing oar
our only goal would be the western shore..."

Well,  should we land our love boat now? or should we continue until we find our own western shore? The choice is completely ours.
