Age for Love

It’s been a while I wrote something, last time it was after a lovely walk on the beach.  Have this sudden urge to write something.

My friend and I were discussing about the ‘love and affection’. We discussed about how we usually fall in love, become possessive and so on. I debated that there is always an age to love. We don’t experience the same emotions at every juncture of falling in love. The way of looking at relationships, the way we deal with our (the then) beloved and the overwhelming emotions that we experience are absolutely different.

Teenagers live in a completely different world. They admire beauty, more acceptable about love and feeling. They just sink within that beloved’s love. They are just careless about the outcome. They simply enjoy living in the present, experience love within everything and every now and then. I think this is the purest form of love. Love that does not ponder over what will happen next or what will happen when the unusual happens. Every feeling is above calculation and expectation. Love that simply submerges two souls into ecstasy. Nothing is more important than love, a simple touch, sparkling smile, bone breaking hug and passionate kisses.

Discussion then suddenly moved to the age group we are in. I argued and also believe that love and affection we seek is not at all similar to the teenagers. We now suddenly laugh on people who actually believe in love at first sight. The meaning of love has changed. There are thousands of examples where people decided to be in relationship after seeing each other for years. It’s like an agreement, much like defense deal between nations. We are afraid to be hurt…in fact we start thinking about consequences much before than we fall in love. We think of secured future and totally forget about feelings. Sometimes I wonder, do we still have any heart to love? If we do then why do we learn to suppress it for other practical things? Such calculation of the mind overpowers every emotions within and yet people believe in love, isn’t that strange?

While returning home, we talked about older people, the one who are more matured. I assume that for them it’s all about companionship. During this stage of life, companionship is more important than love. Loneliness is one of the biggest enemies of social creatures (human). We always need someone to share feelings, someone to talk to and spend time with. I am not sure about love amongst old people but I am sure that the bond is too strong. Probably because they experience fewer emotions since the heart never stop beating and emotions never die until we die.

Whatever my opinions are, “Love” will always be an integral part of humans of all age group. Be it madness for teenage or security for youth or companionship for middle age, everyone seeks affection and warmth. As many fences exist between countries, how many war we fight. Faith will always conquer whole world J.
