hai all...love is a small word...but it is a big ocean to learn about till our death...here is something which came to my mind about love today...
Love, when we look at it...it tells us the following...
imagine if some one gives me a glass of water now when i am safe and comfortable at home with all my needs, both conscious and subconscious, fulfilled, the person or the act will not add any value to me, my happiness, my living and life, my peace or any component of my life.
But if that same person gives me a glass of water when i am about to die at the midst of sahara desert, then it saves me from dying, the person or the act adds value to my happiness, health, peace and self actualisation. So, the feeling of love springs in my heart to that person or the act.
This shows that love is more in the mind of the one who perceives than in the source of love.
Love is felt when the need is met.
All of us have needs both at conscious level and subconscious level. A big list of needs at both the levels.
The ones in the conscious mind drives us to emotions and behaviours at our conscious level. e.g when we are thirsty or hungry
When we have needs at the subconscious level it is not known to us as they are not in the conscious mind. They are hidden. We don't know that we need them. When these needs are not fulfilled then they are pushed up to the conscious mind, we become conscious of it, we come to know that we need it, and we exhibit emotions and behaviours towards achieving the needs. These needs could be needs of the body (e.g reproductive or pleasure needs) or needs of the mind (e.g love and affection, self esteem). When the need is achieved it goes off from the conscious mind. Again when the need arises it first manifests in the subconscious mind and pushed to the conscious mind if not fulfilled, gets fulfilled in the conscious state of living and the cycle continues.
the type of love we perceive with the person (or place or item or living thing) depends upon the type of need we have, the level of the need and also the source of love (ie the person).
For e.g if the need of a man is satisfied (e.g a glass of water to a man about to die at the midst of sahara desert) by a small girl, then the type of love he feels is different from the one he would feel if the individual is of same sex or a youthful beautiful teen aged girl or middle aged woman or an old lady...and also on the appearance of the person (e.g religious or spiritual etc)
so, the crux is....
1. Love is more in the eyes of the perceiver than the source of love
2. Love is perceived based on the needs of the conscious and subconscious minds. There is almost never a state of 'no need' in both these minds. There is always some need, unfulfilled or less fulfilled.
3. Level of love perceived depends on level of need.
4. Type of love perceived depends on the need and source of love.
hope this sums up a dimension of love...
keep rocking guys and gals!
