The Maze of ‘Love’
Love is selfish and
wicked. Make you crazy, foolish, pathetic and disgusting creature.
Those who are reading this writing is thinking how much depress
the writer she is uttering these words.
Or
You may think she may be blind or numb that she cannot see
or feel the beauty of love.
For your information l like to say that yes, I use spectacles
but I am not going through any kind of depression or hardship. Still, I think
that the thing ‘Love’ is not a good thing for anyone and it creates only
unnecessary problems in life though we have not shortage the problems in our
life.
‘Love’, this thing is the problem.
Why?
Whenever, we think about ‘Love’, the trouble-making issue,
we often think:
‘How can we get to be loved by loved ones or to able to love
without led on them or loving someone on without thinking any advantaged from it?’
These thoughts will come to me whenever thinking about ‘Love’,
I count them totally as a wasted thing. I also have surprised that it is not
only me but Francis Bacon, a major figure in the development of the English
Renaissance also thought like me. He believed that ‘Love’ only belonged to the
stage, not in our life.
As he said:
‘For as to the stage, love ever matters of comedies, and
now and then of tragedies, but in life it doth much mischief, sometimes like a
siren, sometimes like a fury.’ (“Of Love”)
But at the end of the same essay, he explained that it was the
nature of humans to seek and spend ‘Love’ for other humans which built the act of
humanity and charitable within us. And married love is created for mankind and
love in friendship is created to honor it.
Yes, I agree that we must have a love for other humans and our
love must not love someone blindly. Still, something is missing. Because in the ‘Love’
between the husband and wife, we face the act of selfish and wicked.
Why am I saying this?
Among them, it is commonly seen that one is sacrificing and
the other one is getting all the benefits. Mutual ‘Love’ in married life is merely observed.
For loving someone and to be loved by someone, we either are
trying to fit in for our loved one or are trying to control them. From this maze
of love, I am trying not to be in the trap of it.
Then how can I resist?
When I started to read ‘The Alchemy of Happiness’ by Imam Al
Ghazzali, he emphasized the love of ‘God’ can make our ‘not to control our loved
one’ or ‘not to be controlled by other’. According to him, men’s souls can be cured
by the remembering of God. Because He does need our help but we need Him in
every aspect of our life. So He is our benefactor whose love may help us to escape
from the earthly wicked ‘Love’.
