Simple Love… remember???
Love, what is it anyway? Do you even remember what true love feels like?
I am sure, I should be the last person on earth to discuss about this topic, why… ? Because I am never good at it, but hey… that doesn’t mean I don’t know what I am talking about.
So do you remember that moment, when you were a child… let say, when you just start learning how to walk and all you can say is… koo koo ka ka. Yes that moment. While your dad, your mom, grandmom, grandpa and your families are all trying to teach you how to walk. I would call that; love… the love that was given to us from our parents without asking for anything in return.
No, we never really understand what that love truly is. After we grow up in this world, the word of trade and capitalism, where if you give then you must get something in return. That is how we generalize everything else along with it. We study hard to get good grades, work hard to earn more… everything is a competition… if you have more, or better… then you are “whatever it is” more than others.
So what happened to love? Love is no exception fell in the same scenario where if you love then you must do “all the criteria” to be loved in return. If you fail to do one, or if you do less than it mean that one love is not as strong as the other.
How do we really measure this thing called “love” ???
Really, I don’t know how. But I know for sure that, love… true love… should be very similar to that love that we received when we were child, back when everything is pure and innocent, when everything was unconditional.
It is not easy for us to do anything “unconditionally” because we always wanted “something” in return. But it isn’t impossible to do… we all can do anything unconditionally, we only do it “just because” we love that person, that little one… that we won’t even know how will they turn out when they grow up. But yet, we love the little one anyway.
So, to conclude this… I still don’t know what love is… but I believe that being unconditional is one of it criteria.
For the picture, it is one of the drive by photos that I took in San Francisco.
So… do you remember that moment?
