love

Love in what context I am talking about?
Love that you feel for your parents? For the smart guy down the lane? Or just a connection you have with your friends….
If I narrow down the dictionary meaning, here it goes…
1. A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.
2. A feeling of intense desire and attraction toward a person with whom one is disposed to make a pair; the emotion of sex and romance.
Beg your pardon but that’s what dictionary says, there are certainly more…
Just a few month before I asked all my love stricken friends(the one left were actually lucky, trust me!)
What conceivable notion they have about love, I seriously got some interesting answers…
One of my friend said, its only god he feels has truly loved us…all other have appeared in front of him as crap..
Other was, which most of the people said, loving someone with all their imperfections,
There were so many interesting, well said definitions, that guys I am grateful that you actually let me get inside your head,
My problem still remain the same,
Ayn rand in fountainhead has this girl Dominique who can't bear the thought of world destroying the man he loves and lusts…
She is determined to destroy him before the world does, practically fails ,then she is determined to destroy herself before the man goes down the gloomy drain,
Its been two years I first read the book, still can't comprehend what this woman was thinking!
Novels does provide insights, like when I read Paulo Coelho's by the river piedra I   sat down and wept, I was pretty clear that I somehow felt the exact same way as protagonist does, the way it developed and finally she reaches to the conclusion of her journey, I was sitting and reading with puffed cheeks…
It was like…"man! Even she is fine now!"
My problem is I could contradict every point people explained about love,
But this last one, which a dear friend of mine said without a blink,never
Guess what she said?
I asked her "gal, define what is love?"
She said the name of guy she loved!
Isn't it that simple n encompasses all things?
Imperfections+ care+ possession+ trust…..
The list goes on,
 but that's exactly it is, why define an emotion which tangles more you try to break it down…
Its love, it is just the way it is, you can't help it!
