Just what exactly is true love? And
what are the rudiments that can properly define it?
With the concept of love having a
myriad of meanings based on a person's culture, religion, and ideologies built
from the people they interact with and their experiences, it definitely is
difficult to boil down into one definition. This is why love in itself is
subjective, and to understand true love, I believe there are a few concepts to
acknowledge before conceptualizing what you really think it means.
Finding It within Yourself
I think that if you want to express
a greater affection towards others, you have to appreciate yourself. Simply
because if you don't know how to understand that your self-worth never dies,
how can you practice respect and kindness to others? Life is definitely not an
easy thing, with everything becoming fast-paced and it's easier to get
distracted from the smaller things that actually matter.
There are many ways to find love
inside of you, but usually most methods require a mentality of optimism, and
usually, that cannot be sustained forever obviously. Things like writing what
your desires are on a piece of paper can help you break down into your core
values because things will usually be specific, and then will become
rudimentary and broad.
Ultimately, I think that the first
part of this endeavor in finding appreciation for you and doing the same for
others, going into introspection for that cause is definitely a step in the
right direction. So what's the next step really after you found love within
you?
Analyzing How You React to
Situations
When we get a bit better breaking
down those mental filters that prevent us from unlocking the truth from within,
understanding how to handle situations accordingly is other important concept
to acknowledge. The reason being is that again, it increases the likelihood
that you appreciate all emotions that you emit in waves; no emotion is forever,
it comes back after the other, and some people are just better at maintaining
what is most likely to come to them.
So take a honest analysis on how you
interpret people you meet, what you do if there's an argument between someone
you're with, or even watching someone else argue with another person. It's
these simple things that we are usually passive about that gets us into knowing
our unique meaning of true love.
Does the personal show unconditional
affection or conditional affection? Do they have a strong desire to protect the
person they consider important and of genuine value? There are so many things
that are categorized for specific results, but picking just a few is more than
enough.
So what exactly is my meaning of
what true love really is? It's definitely abstract in its actual content
within, but overall, it's pretty straightforward.
To understand yourself and appreciating
what you have to do here, which is to spread love and happiness the best way
you can while managing other thoughts that try to challenge it. To then take
that acknowledgement and sustaining your will to keep spreading as much love as
you can, whether it's to other people, your hobbies, or anything else.
And finally, being able to
understand how you react to a given situation with a clear and practical
mindset will help you see things in a more positive way. There are definitely
many rough ends in life, but it doesn't mean it's the end of the world. When we
conquer these fears and anxiety, we can have better awareness of the situation,
and then we can become satisfied with our own meaning of what true love really
is.
