how far would you go?

They say, "love knows no boundaries". I tend to agree with that statement I've seen parents go through hell to making sure their children gets the best, sometimes even if it means they have to tie their stomachs so their kids can get more. I've also witness siblings looking out for each other, be it in fights or even sports. I've also seen married couples sharing a single meal in times of financial difficulties.

The incomprehensible emotion called love is indeed a feeling that is like a burst of adrenalin when your body needs a sudden burst of energy to escape danger. Love can drive us to go the distance for that someone dear to us. I don't think you or I can explain how it gives us the drive to go that far. Above and beyond this, love is sometimes like a double edge sword that can lift us up to cloud nine but at the same time, it has the innate ability to leave a scar in the heart of unwary people. Yet, there are those who are willing to take the hurt because of love, simply because they think it's worth it.

With all honesty, I am not yet able to answer this question. It's a truly difficult question for me. years ago when I tried going the distance, it left me in shambles. In fact, it became years of picking up the pieces. In the process, I learnt it is always easy to remember than to forget, especially the self-doubting events in one's lifetime. Like a broken recorder, it keeps replaying itself - going on and on and on and on. The harder you try to forget it, the more it keeps repeating itself.

It's no easy feat to be selfless and going out there to take the heat for someone you love. But if I knew I could do something, even if it's one thing, one time in my life to make a difference in the life of someone I loved, I'd probably do it without thinking twice. That's what God would probably want us to do.

It is easy to like someone or to be attracted to someone but to love someone, that's a whole new level altogether. It's not just about love-at-first-sight and neither is it just about appearance. It goes far deeper than that. It's about being able to accept the good, the bad and the ugly about a person. Everyone is different, yet everyone is similar in that we all have our good and bad points. Love has this amazing power to bridge that gap and simply turn everything good.

Like the Bee Gees's song, how deep is your love?
