Giving LOVE a bad name...
This incident happened to me just few days before. I was returning from my office. I was inside a local train which was heading towards Belapur. I young couple got int the train and sat besides me. After a while they started talking about their relationship. I wasn't very keen at listening to them in the start, but gradually I felt like listening to them.
From their talks I came to know that both were having some kind of trouble in their love life.
The boy was trying to make the girl understand that why he can't marry her. And the girl was feeling difficult to understand him. As the talks bounced my ears I was just trying to figure out what the real situation was?. Well after a long time I came to know that the boy's family was trying to fix his marriage and the boy didn't was to tell his parents about his love. Well I shouldn't be calling it as love as it had no meaning. The boy had no courage to face his family, and so he was making plain excuses to the girl. He said that his family considered him as a decent and well mannered person, and he can't tell about his love life to his family and get his character spoiled. The girl bursted into tears. I felt bad, but had to stay cool as I got nothing to do with it.
The boy was also trying to console the girl, but it was of no use.
Then I started thinking on the topic...
I was thinking of who was right and who was wrong. Well till now I never came to final conclusion, but I guess people like that boy give LOVE a bad name. I was never compelled by his talks. Never could I possibly guess why, being decent and of good character are in contrast with having a healthy love life. Does that mean if you love someone; is good enough to prove that the you are ill-charactered. Why parents are so insecured about thier children's decision when it comes to love and marriage. Why love is treated as a sin; all though nothing is beautiful than love. And the most important of all why is love categorised?
Every relation, I feel has love bound to it, or else it doesn't exist. If a mother says to her child "I love you" its considered divine. Same for other relations which has got names. But when it comes to friendship, it's tainted. The society has made some false ethics, that love has no meaning in friendship. If a boy and girl are good friends and eventually fall in love, then this relation is given a bad name; though they might have a really divine love.
Well this is an individual's perspective on how to see towards life. I guess people are really confused over LOVE and LUST. In my country love and lust are taken to be same thing, when is comes to love. Coming back to the boy and girl's topic; I wish that the boy should have really stood by the girl's side, and should have confronted his family. I felt that the boy had false ethics, and was not a good as a human being.
I personally feel that we should be the change that we want in the society.
