A math teacher once came to the class and asked the students a question. “If A=B and B=C, then A=C. 
Can you give a practical example for this?” One boy said ” It’s simple ma’am, I love you, you love your daughter. Well, I don’t think I need to complete the equation now do I? ” Ever wondered what makes a relationship meaningful, genuine, lasting forever? Ever wondered what is true love? Love is much more than the often-used three words, “I love you” Love is more than those sentiments and touchy feelings.
Our first experience of love is at birth. The bond that we form with our parents is one of the purest.
Parents love us from the moment we are born, and this love only grows stronger.
Siblings may not always get along and fight constantly, but the love between them is the strongest.
Despite all the fights and arguments, they will always defend us and keep us safe.
Friendships also have the essence of love. A friend is someone with whom you just love to spend your time, can share your joys and sorrows. Friendship is nothing but pure love without any expectations.
Love is less about knowing the person and more about caring for the person. A caring heart walks more than the extra mile to offer service to the beloved. Love is a great blend of caring and daring. Daring to stand up and accept the person completely regardless of their falls and shortcomings. Daring to practice the virtue of forgiveness and to be able to let go of the mistakes and the blunders, small and big in that relationship. Yes, it’s like the beautiful, colourful, fragrant rose, those emotional feelings. But it’s also like accepting the thorn that comes along with the rose, those weaknesses, those shortcomings, those faults.
Yes, love is about complete acceptance, a package deal, like a rose, beautiful in it’s colour and fragrance but also coming along with the thorn.
Love is more than a noun – it is a verb; it is more than a feeling – it is caring, sharing, helping, sacrificing.”
