Love is so beautiful if we could believe in it.

Love comes in many forms if we try to be ourselves, and not playing hard to get or despiteful. Love its part of our emotion as well, were it could link us to someone we love, such as in sickness, loss of a friend or family member. And how many times we are watching a movie or TV and before you know it, you'll see a tear in your eyes to the emotion of the story you're watching on the screen. Same as sometimes you read a love story on a book, and you become emotional, and before you know it, you'll see the same tears in your eyes, it’s all love emotion. And the way I see it, because you're a loveable and caring person.

 

Love it can be seen as a joyous excitement in involvement with someone else, myself, I have Carmelina in which we see this love in a special form of joy in which up to now it kept us together for 48 years and six months. Because when we feel loved, we usually also feel bliss with joy, of course there is time when a recurring fear of losing the loved one, which it could happened to be one of us. Sometimes we see ourselves as young couples in love, growing old together, strolling along the beaches boardwalk at lakeshore, Toronto, in this beautiful summer evening, hand in hand. Sometimes holding hands is a physical power that we have to touch and be touched, to love and be loved. This simple gesture between Carmelina and I holds the promise of all those possibilities of remaining as young lovers. Beside when you hold hands is something like electricity when you put the switch on, the muscular and nervous system are connected, and therefore you could feel that love inside you towards each other.

 

The quality of love is so important to us all and to modern life, I believe that love helps us see and accept others, just for being. We could feel very warm and loving inside and this feeling is easily transmitted to other people. These feelings just arrive spontaneously. How many of us considered being a cold person, probably few of us, and yet if we could be warm loveable we could feel as if there were a glowing warm fire in our heart, which acts to make us warm and to make other people warm. This increase in love is not a matter of pretence or mood making. It has to be real, for love is the most innocent quality of life. It cannot be contrived; either it is there or it isn’t. Love is the spontaneous expression of a full heart, and lack of love denotes lack of life-content. Because real love can only be innocent and spontaneous, the show of love without genuine love is a shame to life in my opinion. Or may I say how a person can give love if he or she doesn’t first have love within himself or herself.

 

We are all aware that in these days of tremendous social upheaval, when so much in life, present and future, is impersonal, unstable and uncertain, it is only natural that we put great energy and hope into our personal relationships. If we could developing inner stability, and expanded our awareness and more loving heart, it will provide us much foundation for more successful, meaningful relationships. The deep, natural rest and relaxation brought about by the practice dissolves restricting stress and tension, which cause fear, loneliness, jealousy, anger, depression and other forms of negative reaction in life. Carmelina and I, we worked out the many personal differences that have arisen, due to the kids, but our love keeps growing deeper and deeper. We are further developing tolerance and compassion for each other, for everyone and everything. We are happier than ever but not as happy as we shall be, because we worry too much about our children.

 

One time I knew these beautiful young couple in which they’re both madly in love so they was telling me, and yet they constantly fighting and arguing, and never reaching any agreement in which I couldn’t help it by staring at them both, and asking them both if they really love each other. The answer they gave me was, “we both love each other and we are looking forward to get married.” With a smile I told them, that both of you have to change your attitude toward love, and learn to trust each other, because if there’s no trust there’s no love. Three weeks later I saw them again by the church after the mass. And they both thanked me for my advice, they told me, that now we are in peace within, and we are able to function harmoniously as friends, lovers, man and woman in which it won’t be long before we get married. Now it seems that they can look forward to a world in which actions are motivated by love and are performed by individuals who have fully developed their minds and their powers of perceptions and understanding in which I’m really happy for them.

 

Living and loving is a concept that many of us have found troublesome, is also a necessary aspect of the fulfilling human struggle. That includes being faithful to us, to our words, and to our spouses.

You must have a positive love flows freely when you’re feeling good inside, there’s no worry at the time, you’re not thinking, or wondering if you love him/her a lot, I hope he/she loves me too or I’ll be miserable. You’re just feeling, and the feeling is wonderful and the other person feels it too, everyone feels it! The feeling shines from your face. The negative or undermining love leaves you more with thoughts like, where is he/she tonight? Will he/she love me tomorrow? And even when the good feeling comes it’s partially choked and overshadowed by the underlying fear. If you love someone and want to have a good healthy relationship you have to express your feelings, as my friend once said to me “my capacity to tolerate negativity with sincere compassion and love has grown to a level of unflinching and natural gentleness. This is how I have always wanted to be but in the past, whenever my temper was tested or I found myself in a situation of conflict, I always gave way to the emotion of anger and reaction. Now this is past. My capacity to love seems as high as it could possibly be. And yet, If we could learn to trust and love everyone without hate, we could gain so much in life, in which it will gives us hope and beautiful dreams, and most of all happiness, and it cost nothing. The word Love you’ll find it in all bibles, scripture or any teaching of faith. Love yourself so you could love others. And this applies to all countries in the world that if we learn to trust each other and Love each other’s there should be no problems anywhere, because love could conquer everything if we just believe in it.
