Can Love Destroy?
The title of this article is a little shocking, Isn't it?
Because no one can think of love and destruction together. But
love does destroy. How? Let us examine.
There is a story of a prince in India. He was in great love with
his wife and never wanted to be without her. One day, an enemy
kingdom attacked him, but the prince did not want to go out and
fight. He did not want to be away from his princess. The
princess realized this and she asked the prince to go out for a
minute. After sometime, a maid brought the head of princess to
the prince with the dying message of the princess. 'Let our love
not destroy you. You are a prince and you must save your state
from the enemies. I am giving up my life so that you can carry
out your duties properly.' Does this small story tell us
anything? What lessons can we draw from this?
Many of us are extremely talented. Our talent can create a big
difference to the world. We can help the world fight poverty,
injustice and produce a better life for all. But some of us fall
in frenzied love. This love is all encompassing. This love takes
over our life. We see nothing but our sweetheart everywhere. For
us, all the other work becomes insignificant. We lose our focus
and are centered on our love like a mad person. This eats away
the vitals of our personality.
For a person in deep and fanatic love, nothing matters other
than love. All other talents take a back seat and the only
driver is love. This kind of love destroys. Love that could have
been very inspiring, manages to destroy. This is the irony of
love.
To save yourselves from such destruction, you must always keep a
level headed approach towards everything. You must sit back and
reflect. Find out if you are missing larger goals? Think about
time management and thought management. Discuss this out with
your sweetheart. He/She will surely help you in such a
situation. One who loves you, wants you to grow. So discuss
this. Think, reflect and make other goals equally important once
again in life. Fall in love. Enjoy the bliss of love. But let
that love not destroy your personality.
