Day 33 - What is love?

What is love? We hear this popular word all the time. It is everywhere we go. We listen to songs about love and read books about it. And we even watch movies and TV programs about it as well. Then, what is love? Is it something so romantic that could only exist between a man and a woman? Or is it something more meaningful and inspirational? Is love really blind? If so, what does it really do to our lives? And why do we even say words like, “I love you”?
First of all, love is not tangible, which means that you cannot touch it or see it at all. However, every single moment of our lives, we experience and understand what love is all about. For example, a mom shows her love through lots of actions. She takes care of her children by cooking, cleaning, driving them, and many more things. And the best part is this, which we define as nagging. The only reason that she does this is because she loves us. That’s right. Love! She wants what is best for our lives. She nags us whenever we do something that is out of bounds and unacceptable. She always says she loves us to the moon and back.
Now the second point that I would like to make is this. Love can definitely change us to be good and make our surroundings more pleasant and peaceful. The truth is that it can do so much more than we ever expected. Love can turn fierce anger into forgiveness. It can also transform harsh words into kind words. Even jealousy becomes admiration. Revenge disappears, and forgiveness grows because of love. It is such a strong warrior, so it can even defeat rudeness and prejudice. Not only that, but love can also play a role of a wonderful peacemaker for all of us because with love, your worst enemy will be your best friend. A person you never thought of before could one day take your breath away.
All of us know for sure that we are not perfect, and we never will be. However, with love, no matter what circumstances we are in and whatever challenges we are facing at the moment, we will overcome and succeed in the end because love gives us hope, strength and encouragement. Being with people who love you and have faith in you will certainly give you great confidence.
