Love....

Is It Love?

"Who can embody love correctly?" asked the prince to a priest in the middle of a war.

The priest sitting nearby drinking ale with his hair covering his eyes said,"He is right there." pointing to a corpse. The corpse is lying in the snow staining the white snow red. 

War sounds started becoming fainter as the prince started paying close attention to the priest. "When he died, he became more beautiful than anyone among the living. He's love itself. He'll never hate others  or steal anymore. He was abandoned there. He's going to give his body with generosity to the beasts and the insects. He lies exposed to the wind and  the rain, but wont speak a single word in complaint. Death.....perfects a person." said the priest with a confidence. 

listening to  this, prince asked,"Are you saying that death is the essence of love?". To which the priest said,"Yes".

listening to this the prince asked with a curiosity,"Then what is the feeling when parents care for their children and when husband and wife care for each other?"...Without any delay or doubt, the priest replies."It's discrimination. It's no different from fawning over a king while hitting a slave with a whip....".

Listening to this, the prince felt as if the fog in his mind has lifted off and he began to understand what love really is. He took a fist of snow and showing it to the priest, he said,"This snow is love. Right?" for which the priest replied, "That's right.". The prince thought to himself with tears rolling down his cheek ,"The Sky. The Sun. The Mountains. The Wind. The fog. But then..... I can't believe it. The World. The creation of God is so beautiful.But then why...is there no love... in the hearts of men?" 

This particular scene in a Japanese anime named "Vinland saga" struck me really hard that I spent so much time repeating the same scene. All of that made sense to me. It made me realize that my whole life had been a drama. why do we humans name the discrimination as love?... and how to find true love?.... I went into a great loop of thoughts like these... I realized that if I follow that definition of love.. I have to stop everything i am doing right now. Because, none of the thing I am doing right now is truly for me. It's either for family, society, friend, lover or my future wife and children. Are these things really important?.. 

Well i am not that intellectually or emotionally qualified to answer any of the above questions.. So until I can find the answers to them, all I can do is follow our regular stuff like studying, getting a good income source, getting married, raising children and so on......but I cant truly say to anyone that I love only them because it's not actually love. i am ending this here... If anyone is reading this and want to share your views, please leave a comment......😃😃😃

What are we?

What are we?         A really long time ago, there used to be an infinitum of nothingness and then occurred a Bigbang. A Universe if formed with galaxies built up of millions of stars surrounded by planets. Well… At least that’s a theory of humans who are among billions of species sharing a small planet in one of the solar systems of one of the galaxies in this enormous universe. We live in a planet which is only planet supporting life as far as we know.         Talking about humans, who we actually are?... Humans are a form of life. And every life form sustains with energy. Plants take it in form of basic elements like water, soil, sunlight, etc. while animals take it in form of food. And humans being omnivorous, we along with carnivores hunt to survive. We kill other creatures either to fill our stomachs or to protect ourselves.         We stand at the top of the foo...

Kill The Rapist

Kill The Rapist           In the past week, I have come across more than 15 rape incidents in my Inshorts feed. Which means more than 2 per day. And I am talking about the incidents occurring only in India. After the incident in Hyderabad, these rapes have increased in an alarming rate. It is as if someone poured kerosene on fire. And as usual, our “media” began to cash these out. Every news channel started interviewing various people including victims’ relatives, friends, convicts’ relatives, politicians, protesters, celebrities, etc. And everyone gave their own opinions on this.           Most of these opinions are taken from feminists, college girls and politicians. These people give so many comments on “the way parents do and have to raise their children”, “the way parents discriminate between girl and boy”, “how the convict has to be punished”, “does the way girls dress really cause...
