A Mighty Mystery
One of the greatest mysteries of life is Love.
Its one of the most spoken about topics that captivate almost every mind.
Science, philosophy and religion have all tried to give it their own explanation, but the phenomenon lives on.
It infects the minds of every artist, inspiring passions either for or against it. Feeding new creations, whether it be in song, art or literature.
Many people devote their lives to it. In search of that "one great love" or those many loves (depends on the ideology of the person). However, people's devotion to it lives on.
But Love, like all great things, is a difficult matter. Mainly because it is a matter ruled by the human heart.
"Things never happen the same way twice." - Aslan, the great lion, told little Lucy Pevensie in Prince Caspian from the Chronicles of Narnia series by C. S. Lewis.
The wisdom in these words were never lost on me. They still find resonance in many aspects of life, and Love is definitely one of them. One will probably not find love the way one had before, and surely not in the same form. People change, and with that changes their needs, and in turn, their expectations of Love.
You should avoid having expectations all together as that usually paves the path to disappointment. However, the "human" in us cannot help it most of the times.
My only advice is, open your eyes, open your arms and, most importantly, open your heart.
Love awaits at the most unlikely corner, at the most unlikely time. Make sure you're ready to welcome it, else it'll be stranded alone and cold outside your own closed doors, unknown to you.
Be ready for when Love arrives...
