“Love”
I am afraid that now “Love” is supposed to be the attraction between two opposite sex. Go and surf the net you will find tons of material on this topic. Your toil will not be of much beneficial if you try to find “Love” in other relations.
“LOVE” is the most talk about term since the time memorial – since the creation of mankind (Adam). It existed since then; rather I must say even before, when there was nothing but the Creator; even the creation of the universe is because of LOVE – love of the creator for the creation. In the modern age there is also lot of talking about love, but I am afraid that now love is mostly supposed to result in sex and not beyond, whereas there are millions of couples who may not love each other, still they are married and increasing population.
Thinking of love with such a low value is not justified. If I am asked to define love, I would say “Sacrifice, Selflessness, not demanding, to submit to the will of beloved.” This is the aspect which fulfills the instinct of mankind as regard to physical as well as spiritual. A mother is the most sacrificing person for her children. It may be said that it is in her instinct to love her children. Let’s take true friendship, there is no compulsion, but some times friends do sacrifice for each other. There are people who love their fellow being without any blood relationship. God creates the blood relations, but to us the relations we make are important. This is the aspect of love. It prolongs only when it is based on selflessness otherwise parting is there – “Someone loved leaves you.”

Nice post Bhai!
Salaam AZ. Good to see you, and the lovely comments. It made me recall the days of LM, but it's gone now and I have lost the track of friends, with exception to some like you. Thanks AZ.
I still don't know what is love exact means. Sometimes it gives strength, and sometimes makes weak A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you. Might be that's called love, in my opinion.
I liked your thoughts about love, Mishaikh. Thanks to sharing.
Nice blog, Mishaikh
" love" of God is very beautiful. you can find lots of poems on this topic in Persian literature from Iranian great poets such as Hafiz, Saadi ......
But unfortunately, today mass media is displaying sex attractions more than emotional and spiritual attractions. Perhaps mass media is at the service of make up and clothing industry rather than humanity.
Hi my friend, really it is a very nice blog. My friend, I think love may be a basic human instinct, but sharing your love or your life with others isn't always easy. No one can deny that; our life is always about strong, loving relationships. In fact not all of us are good at such relationships, but, some people are good at such relationships. They easily find a partner who makes them happy and they seem to know instinctively how to handle tricky times and keep the relationship and love fresh. And they know the rules which make their love or their relationships last and stand the test of time. Yes my friend, every relationship has her own rules to last for ever. I hope your next blog will be about these rules. God bless you my friend.
As far as I got your point is that most ppl do apply their sense in understanding the distinction between lust for sex and love.
Therefore, in order to avoid confusion, use affection as substitute word of love as the word "love" implies both negative and positive feeling of liking, whereas the word "affection" means positive feeling of liking.
I would like to explain it in this way that the love that deviates from straight way, makes one selfish is not love in true sense, it is something else we need to figure out. In fact, the love for The Creator will lead you to the love of His creatures.
Love comes from the All mighty Creator . Love is not limited for only opposite persons. Love is for every creatures. Love can not be defined with single world. Love is so wide that it is not measurable by anything. But one can feel it with heart. Thanks Mishaikh for your interesting post. It makes me thinking more about true love. All the best.
