~Love~

A friend of mine sends quotations on 'love' to all her friends everyday morning, just like 'Goodmorning' messages...She's been doing this since months now...

Today she a quotation which touched me like no other before. Would like to share it here ~

"I love you. It's not a weight you must carry around. I love you. It's not a box that holds you in. I love you. It's not a standard you have to bear. I love you. It's not a sacrifice I make. I love you. It's not a pedestal you are frozen upon. I love you. It's not an expectation of perfection. I love you. It's not my life's whole purpose (or your's). I love you. It's not to make you change. I love you. It's not even to make you love me. I love you. It's as pure and simple as that...

How beautiful...! Isnt this what love really is..? Unconditional and pure...

I love someone, but I dont bind him with anything...I love him just for his being, I love him not to gain anything, not be become great, not to make a hero out of him...Not to make him realize that I love him...

I love him as he is with his imperfections and flaws...I love him without expecting anything in return...not even love.......I love just because I do, and I because I cant help it....

This is love...as it should be...as it was meant to be...as it always was...and will always be.....

Do you believe in destiny...?

Do you believe in destiny? Do you think you choose your destiny or does your destiny chooses you? Do you think anyone coming in your life has purpose to fulfill or is it mere chance..?

Standing at this turn on this journey of life I am thinking about the incidences of my past ~ trying to understand what the choices I had made at different times in my past ~ knowingly or unknowingly, which brought to me the present as it is before me today. What made me what I am today...What would have happened had I not chosen the things I did choose? How would the picture of my life be standing in front of me today ? But back then, was it possible that I could have chosen something else to what I actually chose? Did I actually have a choice or what happened was inevitable...?

What I am today is the result of the experiences that I've had in my life, of the incidences that happened with me, of the laughs that I laughed and the tears that I cried, of the feelings I felt, of the thoughts I thought, of the people that I met....or didnt meet...That brings me to another question ~ why do we meet the people that we meet in our lives? What is the purpose..? Why do only a few people out of the hundreds of people that we get to know in our lifetime actually matter to us, actually makes some difference to us...? And why them..? Why not anyone else..? I guess probably because we are tied to those people by some threads of destiny.. . Probably because they are a part of the choices that we make in our lives, knowingly or unknowingly. Probably we have some connection with them from some other lifetime and we need to fulfill the things left unfulfilled then or complete something which was left unfinished then...Or say something or hear something which was unsaid or unheard then....So in a fascinating way everything seems connected ~ our destiny, our past, our present, our future, everything happening or not happening our life, everyone coming and walking out of our life...

So, what do you think? Do you believe in destiny? Do you think you choose your destiny or does your destiny chooses you? Do you think anyone coming in your life has purpose to fulfill or is it mere chance..?

Diamonds and rust...

But each day brings its petty dust our soon-choked souls to fill,

And we forget because we must, and not because we will...
