It’s The Power Of Love by Jameel Saleem

Is “love” spiritual or mental? Is it magical or conditional? It seems as if we get our ideas of what love is, from the artistic and extremely emotional perception of books, poems, music, movies, and so on. If that is the case, then are we thinking of love as this magical feeling that possesses us when we meet that perfect person and enter that perfect union? Do we see love as a spiritual connection, or an unseen bond that can’t be broken by the monetary tribulations of a lesser social relationship?
If the power of love is strong enough to sustain that quintessential happily ever after, storybook ending, then why do so many relationships end, even though both partners claim to still be in love with each other? Why was that “love” not enough? If love is forever, but relationships are fleeting, then how powerful can love be? Does this mean that love is not actually “…all you need”?
We can say that most people don’t know what love is, but that wouldn’t be fair. It would be more appropriate to say that most people know what love looks like, but don’t know how to make it themselves, so to speak. Meaning, that everyone has the capacity to love, but it takes great care, responsibility, and determination, to have the ability to do so.
If that is truly what makes love work, then this magical characterization we give it, is not completely accurate. Love is more than just the feeling, the longing, the concern, and the overwhelming attraction. It’s also about making the right decisions. It’s about finding the right partner and not letting the moment, or the physical attraction, blind you to the obvious warning signs.
Love, is being true and honest with yourself and others around you. It’s being faithful to your values and morals, and finding someone that is in line with them. It’s recognizing that the human ego has no place in a loving relationship, and if not removed, will ruin it. Love can sustain a relationship, just like the trees and plants sustain our clean air, but only if we nourish it with long lasting care and a hindrance in childish recklessness.
Therefore, we can conclude that love is both spiritual and mental, and can be magical if treated with a certain prestige. Not everyone can pull a rabbit out of a hat, but it can be done. The seemingly hopeless view that love is not going to happen for you is just an illusion. Love is a skill, just like any other. If you want it bad enough, don’t wait for it; work at it, starting with you.
