Love~
There are several things I've realised about love lately. By love, I mean love in general, like between parent and child, siblings, friends, couples, etc. In my whole blog, the love i talk about most is probably about parent and child, or basically love within a family.
Bad news which came a night ago jolted me with this realisation, that Love has its limits. I've always believed that as long as we love one another, that we hold one another in our hearts, no matter what happens, everything can be okay. But now I know that this is not always the case. Love is not as powerful as i once deemed it to be. Everything in this world has its limits, and what a disappointment it is, when I realise that Love is limited by Time. Another abstract entity, but so important in reinforcing Love. If we don't spend enough Time with the people we Love, we won't get the chance to talk to them, to understand them, to be in touch with them. We won't know what's going on, how to support and care for those we love. Time can reinforce and renew the bond shared. Love on its own, is not enough. Love is probably an emotion that consists of many other emotions, including sincerity, humility, and many many more. But when there's no point in Time in which you meet the people you love, there would be no Love. There are perhaps many other limitations of Love which I have yet to recognise, being as young as I am now. Hopefully, though, there won't be many limitations of Love.
Funny how I've just equated Death with Love during a common conversation with a friend. Death is like Love, you can only wait for it, but not ask for it. But when it comes, it comes. There's no stopping it.
