On Love and Romance

One night after the New Years Eve, I talked a lot with my friends and I knew that the later the night goes on, the talking topic will converge into romance and gossip about people. I thought that it would be fun and interesting to listen to high school romance stories and actually, it really is. I could understood what they are undergo at their age. Here is the first story.

One of my friend, he is older than me, told that he did not like chase his crush if the girl is very easy to get. He wants the thrill of chasing. He wanted to give out the best of him before finally got the one. He described his experience that he went all-out to one girl. He told us that he wanted to give the most romantic moment with the girl. Every single important day like Valentine or Christmas always goes with a lot of presents. Then, he told everyone again that he did not want to date girl that makes the first move and most of the girls agree. 

It was a fairly interesting story to know that we, human, are driven by challenge. We do not want to acquire something without great effort. Me too, has already experienced the thrill of chasing girls. The feeling of waiting our significant other respond and each respond give me some kind of hope. :D. Until one day that I realize that was not the point of love. I think this is the reason why so many breakups while dating or marriage. When the excitement is lost, they want to find new excitement to fulfill their desire. They feel that excitement is point of any relationship. 

My dear friend, love is a verb. The feeling of love comes from loving action. It is the fruit of love. Listen to them, give your attention, care for them, appreciate their work, sacrifice your time for them. If you want to learn the real meaning of love, look to people who sacrifice them self for the sake of the others. Let's look to parents. They give birth to child. They sacrifice their life, health, and time for the child. If you want to get the excitement, love them. If you want to feel the value of love, you need to release your ego. Ego is the big wall that stand between you and love. Destroy it and you will feel love. :").
