The scene - a good-looking schoolmate vigorously makes his way around the campus with a fresh face and a ready smile, and then he buys something at the canteen. A girl would whisper to her classmate while looking at him with 180 degree head turn and would say, “He is so cute. God! I'm in love!”
In love? Come on! You only saw a cute guy and then poof! You're in love? Seeing a good- looking guy doesn't make you fall in love in a blink of an eye. If love is not seeing a cute guy, what is love then?
Biblically, love is never envy nor boastful or arrogant. Webster, on the other hand, defines it as a warm affection. But do the teenagers nowadays still know the essence of this very powerful and sacrosanct word?
A lot of people engage themselves in a relationship at an early age although they are not yet ready for it. Some say that it's because they love the person so they are pretty sure that they will be happy with their relationship. Love is one of the most abused and misused words in the whole universe. But is it really love when you see your crush happily talking to another girl and you get furious? Is it love when she goes with another guy and you challenge that guy to battle with you? Is it love when she tells you that she doesn't like you and you threaten her that you will kill yourself if she ever leaves you? Is it love folks?
No. The answer is no. Love is not a more-than-a-friend-thing. It doesn't need to be spoken a thousand times because it is the silent language of the heart. You might not hear the word “I love you” as often as you want to hear it but you can always feel it. It is not the material thing that he gives you; it's the affection that he lets you feel. Live. Laugh. Love as you can because you are given only one heart, not to be choosy of whom to love but to find the missing pieces of your heart from other people and make it whole.
