Have you ever paused to ponder over the riveting conflict between societal approvals for love versus hate? Why is that being in love always invites dubious reactions from not only the society but familial responses are pretty much similar too. Often, we all come across innumerable instances where communities stand strongly united while waging combats based on hate or revenge. However, rarely do we spot cases where people show solidarity towards those in love, especially when their prospective partners come riding from a cultural world that is different than theirs. A point that is beyond any contention is the fact that reaching your love destination in a culture like ours is no carousel ride. There is an ocean of hurdles to clear before one can finally settle down with the partner of their choice. What one needs through this tough ride, is the resilience to spring right back from societal pressures and strengthen the tusk to hold your assertiveness high. It is integral to continue reminding people that for once, objecting hate can be the right thing to do but objecting love, under no circumstance should be sanctioned correct. Love is a feeling to be celebrated. Parents must be proud when their children fall in love with someone outside their families. Isn’t it absolutely admirable to see your child having the heart and ability to contain love for somebody else, without conditions and beyond selfishness? Ask, pause and ask again. What’s wrong? Love or hate?
Let’s break down the above paragraph to form relatable pieces. Proclaiming your love for someone in our culture will blatantly invite absurd/aggressive reactions from families, especially elders. What is astonishing is the fact that a feeling as incredible as love, a feeling as pure as love and a feeling as rarely gifted as love can lead to such painful consequences. From a simple “How dare you?” to horrifying instances of murder, what is cleverly covered in terms like ‘honor killing’, love sees it all. Again, what for? Why is it so problematic to be in love? How can love harm anything or anybody? Love in the maximum that it can bring, can only bring hope, compassion, humanity and prosperity back in the lives of robots-turned-humans. Banishing love is killing all of these prospects.
Meanwhile, hate between two people, two communities or even two nations, rarely calls upon such dire reactions. It again is truly unfortunate how easily one learns to accept hate, finds all terrifying or toxic ways to deal with it. People readily join hands to become accomplices in hate. Well, even if they don’t, the war that is waged against Love is never waged against Hate. It might be waged for it, though.
Notably, love as an emotion is too powerful as blessing to be bestowed on just anybody. You will notice through the journey of life that very few people have had the privilege to fall in love. The feeling is supremely deep and can fit in only in hearts that have bigger spaces, only in souls that are full of light, only in minds that contain real intellect and only in people who are Beautiful. Beautiful enough to be able to feel an emotion like that, to make space for it and to be able to accept it, more so, own it and announce it. The latter phases demand for courage that very fewer from the few possess. The ultimate miracle is to receive love for the love you give. This doesn’t happen humanely. It’s beyond the work of an ordinary being, it’s a miracle sent from the heavens. Now when you block a bond that was built somewhere beyond human contemplation, you are committing nothing less than a sin. To object love, is to object the power of the Unknown and Unseen.
On the contrary, one fuming inference is that hate is such a shallow of an emotion, that it can find it’s space in the smallest hearts with the littlest space, in brains that haven’t learned the real wisdom, in souls that are dark and void and in people that are Evil.
Sit back and question. How and Why would you object love. How and Why would you rather not object hate from taking birth in the hearts of your children. How can you allow hate as a reaction to be followed after love? Love happens to only the brightest, be proud that you have the ability to experience it. Truly hope that we reach a time where hate never triumphs over love again. Love deserves to win. Every time. It deserves to be celebrated and not feared. Every time.
