The very essence of love is dynamic. Love is free in its entirety. And the very reason that people call it liberating instead of a bondage is because love demands none. For me to love someone in whatever way I know might be completely different than me being a partner to him or her. Love in certain cases can be a huge sign of reverence, a token of an utmost respect that stands for every action of that person. It constitutes a beautiful world in itself. Intimate, respectful, caring, pure, but not a representation of building a family together. For, even though the two seem like a case of causation and effect, they are again, very independent of each other. For firstly, building a family is not a child’s play. And not everyone is equipped for that or even has that objective in the list of their priorities. Secondly, here in this part of the globe, a lot more than just love constitutes what we know as marriage. Familial ties, comfort and habit, and several other things must fall in alignment. And once they do, you grab onto that fish.
And thirdy, some relations are not meant to belong to the real world that marriage provides. Some are meant to be inside a happy bubble, momentary, but enough to provide a lifetime of strength and wholeness. And it is probably this kind of bond, that demands nothing and that doesn’t buckle trying to please the society, this one sustains. Stays the sacred piece in an ever evolving world.
So why only marriage seems to be a happy ending to only one particular type of love is again a wwhole concept in itself. But let me tell you this, just as love is not a one-to-one function, the forms of love are quite varied as well.
Once you start realising that, vices such as envy get done for good. Afterall, isn’t it love to see someone you love happy? And isn’t happiness constituted in a multitude as well? Be a part of that, make love a service rather than a sacrifice. Even a tiny part of that piece is, at times, much better than a whole lot of reality. And even a tiny part of ‘today’ might end up being much better than an entirety of ‘forever’.
