The act of loving becomes a difficult task because we do not know how to love. Those people are interested only to celebrate love nominally. Love is never a noun. It is actually a verb. Just as the unrecorded words vanish into the thin air, love that has not been converted to verb, will remain as a lifeless noun.
Until we understand the forms of love, our ignorance of loving will follow us. Verbal love is merely a noun, whereas the verb called love is proved in acts of love. The saying ‘I love you’ is a noun. But, when love becomes a sign which expresses my love through my actions, it  becomes  a verb. Relationships  become  valuable  only when we love. We are living in the midst of many bonds such as Father-daughter, Mother-son and Husband-wife. There are several other relationships in which we get involved. But, what is the foundation of relationships?
It should be love. Love should be the touchstone to judge the value of every relationship. It is not enough to have a relationship alone; there should be love as well. When a husband or wife has aÂ
relationship with his/her spouse, he/she will go after others when his/her spouse gets ill or financially poor.
When we have a relationship, but not love, we will abandon our elderly parents. On the other hand, we will lift up a fallen stranger lying on the wayside, when we have love, even though we do not have any relationship with him. It is then that we decide to walk an extra mile with someone who had requested us to walk a mile with him.
People like Mother Teresa of Calcutta emerged here because there was love, even in the absence of relationships. We read about murders of family members by other members of the same family. This happens because there were only relationships, but no love. Love is important, not relationship. In other words, it is love that enhances the beauty of relationships.
We tend to turn cold towards our kith and kin because there is no love. If we have love, even in the absence of relationships, we will be connected. On the other hand, a loveless relationship will be a sort of slavery.
The toughest lesson in this world is to learn to love. The biggest discovery in this world is to discover love. All frictions in this world are caused by in capability to discover love. When there is love, everyone will be connected.
When we engage in love, we need to ask certain questions to ourselves: How do I love and why do I love? How much do I love? You can love in any way and at any time. You can love as much as you want. A time-bound love with ulterior motives is never true love.
The oldest commandment is to love. The same is the newest commandment as well. The realization that there areÂ
still unexplored continents and unrevealed treasures, triggers me to go on with my love for you. Once I discover those, my love will end. It is for the same reason that my love does not end and that it goes on…
