Some say that we are born to love and that love is the meaning and
the aim of our lives. Many people believe that it’s a divine magical
power that connects two loving hearts. For ages people have been
thinking of what love is, writing books and song about love, in the
recent time – shooting movies all on the same topic. Christians would
say that God teaches us to love each other, the most skeptical
materialists would blame it all on the chemical processes and hormones,
romantic people would stand for the theory that each of us has his or
her half on the Earth. Whatever love really is – the humanity
definitely loves it.

Love is opposite to selfishness, because it’s always heading to
some other person but you. It’s the highest point of human’s relations
development. One voluntary gives up a great part of his/her own
freedom. Love is giving by it’s nature. Person feels satisfaction and
happiness not from receiving but from and seeing one happy. Two
individuals completing one another form some spiritual union in which
one is happy because the other’s is happy and one knows that he or she
loves because he or she knows he/she would do anything it takes to make
the other.

Love has it’s magical power to overcome all troubles, heal
illnesses, create wonders. In critical life situations it gives people
the strength to survive, to hold on however tough the living gets. And
it all comes from the knowledge that you’re not alone in this world.

But everyone should mind that love arises not between angels but
between people with all their little sins and flows. So the mistakes,
problems and conflicts in love are in fact normal, they all come from
our human’s nature. But the clear feeling of love is worth all the
troubles one has to walk through to gain it. As we know Rome wasn’t
built in a day, the same thing with love. There’s not any perfect art
of loving. It’s always a road laid with  compromises, everyday battle –
not with the one you love, but with yourself. That’s how love makes us
better. For everyone this way is personal. You can never predict how
the relationships will develop but it’s in your ability to make it
better.

Some say that love lives free years, other theory gives love one
more year, some don’t give it any chance. Very many people believe that
a family is a grave of love. So the negative prognoses are plenty. But
still there stay some true believers. And deep in the heart many of us
would like to believe and do believe in love. Because it has some magic
in it and all the attempts to explain and to define it are failures.

Love makes clever people loose their mind and silly ones it
makes genius. Love is paradoxical in very many aspects. There are
statements that love is always happiness even when it’s unhappy and at
the same time  that there’s both nothing worse and nothing better than
it. Another variant is that you never lived till you loved, and that
love is the key to life and the sense of it. We may cite very many
sayings and examples. They all are true and none is final. In one thing
we can be sure: one who loves sees the world in the different way when
all others, things look brighter, birds sing louder, life shows itself
in it’s completeness.
