A Self Realization - and the Pathway to Understanding

I have often thought about the strange feelings of commitment and adoration we as human beings have towards one another.

The fact that a person would give their own life to save another's, based purely on the emotional bond they share, is extraordinary.

No other emotion is so strong, so pure and so real that mortality becomes insignificant in the light of someone else's happiness.

We, as humans, label this unique emotion with the broad tag of love.

It is something fundamentally complex, yet realistically simple.

For centuries the great philosophers and great thinkers of each generation have compared this love to many things; most of which falling under these three categories:

1. Strong
2. Delicate
3. Ever Lasting

But I believe that love is something that doesn't need a fanfare to make it known and it doesn't need money to be shared. Love is something that can be explained with a simple act of trust ~ the act of giving someone your whole heart.

That trust they then hold within themselves is the foundation for their love and commitment to each other.

It is something, that when achieved, is immovable and unalterable.

Until a small crack spreads throughout and shatters the whole.

It is special,

It is unique,

and it should be cherished;

...it is an ever growing process that I have failed...
