THE MYSTERY OF LOVE

                    THE MYSTERY OF LOVE.                            By Nelson Kilonzo

Hello readers? It’s my pleasure to share with you again some few thoughts about something we all may need in life. LOVE! I took too long thinking about what this thing is always about and I find it interesting to share with you some findings. Let’s begin by asking ourselves some few questions-which we should answer with honesty. What is love? Somebody please tell me what love is? Is it a thing? A feeling? May be words? Actions? Thoughts? What?! Does it exist? Is it real?  If it really is real, where does it abide? In the body…mind…soul…or?! I have struggled lots with my passion to understand love but all I can up to this point do is questions. Lately I have had a lot of questions about this idea: is it fiction or is it a fact? Do we own it or does it own us? Do we bring it together or does it bring us together? Is it existing in the real or is it abstract?

Some may say that we can have it ‘on’ us-our bodies. That love is felt on our bodies. That the little things we do ‘on’ our partners is love. For instance, if your ‘dude’ kisses your cheek, then they love you? If they walk holding your hand in town then they love you? Caresses…the ‘play’…does it mean they love you? Maybe the answer is YES! But how about if they don’t do that, do they still love you? How about if they beat you up for the little misunderstandings, is that love too?! If they cheat on you and do that to someone else, is that love too?! And how about if they do not keep up to the game in bed, you still love them?! And if you may force yourself to keep loving them, for how long more?

Love is felt in the mind as some will say, but we all know that the mind only carries thoughts. What is a ‘thought’? It is simply the arrangement of ideas in a conscious mind about experiences and imaginations. Is love an experience or an imagination? Can you point it or touch it? If we can, then it’s concrete. But since we can’t, we assume it is abstract. So we can assume that love to those who say it’s in the mind that they just imagine about it, and it is fictitious.  

At least some will say that love lives in the soul. Well…we all at least know that the soul is the spirit-if it exists. If we say love is spiritual and lives in the soul, tell me why don’t we assume to love people we can’t see? Those we have never met, or force our spirits to drive our partners from where they are to us? If it really abides in the soul, why don’t we feel it when our partners cheat on us?

So what is love? Is it real or is it abstract? Do we feel it or do we experience it?  Where does it really belong? Body…mind…or the soul? Questions…questions…questions…questions about love may never end. It has been long since I started to think about love, I hope that you readers will help me understand the mystery about love. Love is a mystery, don’t play around with it or it may end up hurting you or else you end up hurting yourself.

It’s time for me to go but I’ll leave you with a quote ~ “Love is like a rolling stone, don’t try stop it cause it will hurt you, don’t run after it cause you cannot catch it, but rather just let it be.”

Until next time, bye readers.
