This Thing called Love...

Ok... i know this might sound weird or crazy or post-insanity stuff or whatever (BlahShit!!!) Lets call it "Compromise"... or even better, lets give it a phrase..." The Barter system"... but (Please! Please! PLEASE!!!) lets not abuse it by calling it as "Love"....!
"Love" - How often do we use this word in our daily lives and end up literally, physically, practically, well almost in everyway abusing, degrading, distorting, crapping, killing, raping, murdering the very meaning of it!... Without most of us even knowing the true meaning of "Love" We talk about it as if we know what love really is! How many of us really know the true meaning of this word?
According to Dante, he writes about Love in his master-piece 'The Divine Comedy', "The day that man allows true love to appear.. all things will fall into confusion and over-turn everything we believe to be Right and True"
Makes sense?
I asked my best friend today over a cup of coffee, "What does Love or a Relationship (now that he is "committed") mean to you?" and he smiled and said without even giving it a second thought, "Responsibiltiy.." "But do you think Love means Responsibility?", i asked him back and he looked at me with a weird, hard to define expression and said, "Well relationship and love are both different stages.. Let's not compare the two" "But don't you think even a Relationship is born from love... then why didnt you say... Love? You didnt even mention it as a by-product of a relationship.. Why Responsibility and why not Love??" I had got my answer. His silence answered my questions. And its not only bestie but many others whom i have known...
We tend to forget the true meaning of love... We loose the spirit of love somewhere in transition and translation of our needs and desire... and fail to achieve and know the pleasure... the joy... the true meaning of love..
What we know is... Desire!... Needs!... Wants!.. and we still shamelessly call it Love!
Love.. Love is Unconditional... It's like when you love someone so much that all that matters is the happiness of that someone, regardless of that someone being with or without you! That is love! But do we have the courage of seeing this someone we love into the arms of other.. Happy.... Satisfied and in "Love"... Do we have that courage? Do we have the power to Love?
Well We all do infact we are born to do so, but Are we ready to Love someone truly? Im not talking about Compromises that people very effortlessly term as a "Relationship" which is conducted on the principles of Barter...!
Im talking about Love... Unconditional Love... Love that is capable of loving without being loved!
ARE WE READY??
