They say it is Valentines Day; a day to celebrate
“love”. I was under the impression that Love was something we celebrated daily. Since we have a special day for love, let me express myself on this topic. What can be said about this day; or love itself? Love is a misunderstood thing; while it is the most “real” feeling in our heart. Love is so restricted; it seems people think it is for lovers only. Love is something we should have for all; I love many, but can’t express it. I can’t express it, because they misunderstand love. I love my wife; my kids and all the family attached to us. I love my friends and care deeply about them. I love my colleagues and for most of them, I will go through deep waters. I love South Africans and then; I love mankind. What makes one form of love superior to another, I ask? Love might be different but in essence love can only be love. We care about each other, regardless whether it is your wife, your mom or a friend. We even love and care for our pets; what makes love special or not? If there is one form of Love I consider more than any other love; it’s for God. It is with God that love starts; we are just spreading or returning it. Love is a beautiful thing; not a feeling, but a choice. It is not owned or merely feeling in our hearts; it is a blessing received from above. I love this thing called love itself. It is the centre of my existence. So, as for a day dedicated for love, I will celebrate my life. I will give thanks to the Creator of love, who shares it with us; everyday. |
