‘TRUE’ LOVE DIES TOO
Many have said
that true love never dies. And their reason for saying is that when a person truly
loves, they never stop loving regardless of how horrible and bad you treat such
a person; and how often you despise that love.
But I beg to
differ! Love CAN die; even ‘true’ love! Regardless of how true one’s love is,
it can die! Regardless of how bent on a person is to love and show nothing but
love, that love can die if you keep despising it, throwing it to the dogs and treating
it as though it does not matter.
I believe
everything one enjoys in life is a seed. A little seed which has to be sown,
nurtured, cultivated and kept alive. Keeping it alive means ensuring that the
seed grows in an environment that will aid its growth. It has to be given the
basic needs for survival. You should give it ‘food’, then add ‘water’ and give
it ‘shade’ to keep it warm or cold depending on the ‘weather’ conditions. You do
not have to leave the seed alone and expect it to grow and give you increase.
Fact is, some
seeds are able to grow on their own. They will beat all odds and struggle
through the thorny weeds and undesirable soil mechanisms and grow.
But truth is,
that growth is but for a moment. It is not to the fullest. They will grow to
some extent and suddenly drop down – dead! Yes, they will die because they did
not get the basic necessities to aid their growth to the fullest.
And so is love;
even ‘true’ love. Regardless of how true it is, it can die. It will die not because
the love is not true enough, but because it did not get the right environment
to grow and flourish.
We live in a
world where people have become self-centered and so did the good book prophesy;
that in the last days, the love of many will wax cold. Unfortunately, we are
now in a world system where people’s love are already cold upon arrival and so
they keep waxing much more cold at every moment.
Therefore, when
you are fortunate to have that friend showing you love and much more love, do
not take such a friend for granted. Do not despise that love. Do not feel or
think that person has nothing better to do with their time and energy.
When someone
decides to go through thick and thin to make things happen for you and love you
in ways which are not common nowadays, do not despise such a person and treat
them as though they do not matter. All under the untrue belief that ‘true love
does not die’.
Be true to love...and you would have it in abundance!
Despise love...and it will be gone forever! Regardless of how true it was.
