the price of love - take 3

Deep down inside each and every one of us lies an innate power to do things for another person. Some things that can be beyond explanation, sometimes even silly and sometimes just really impossible to imagine. What I am referring to really is the ability of us human beings to care for someone else. Actually if you think about it, all living beings on this planet show the innate ability to care for one another.

It's amazing how one person can show so much care to another person without requiring a reason. I definitely admire those who are able to care for another person selflessly. I may not know my ability to care for another person but I know I'd give it a good shot in caring for someone I love - parents, siblings, girlfriend. Personally, I think the will to care for another person will come naturally like the rainbow after a rainy day.

I think inside us resides a little vault of emotions that entwines itself to form a chemistry of emotions that manifests itself as a plethora of feelings - tolerance, empathy, concern, etc. Some say it's the warmth that you feel in your every heart beat. I think the warmth is called, "love".

A four letter word that speaks for itself universally.

A four letter that carries a very unique price tag.

A price tag any of us can afford. In fact, it's so affordable it doesn't even cost a dime!

You don't need to do anything to receive love because it is something given freely to you and me by another person willingly!

Ask yourself this - if you loved someone you would willingly show concern, care for the other person and treat that person respectfully, right? I know I would.

The best part is, love can come in all shapes and sizes! As small as tiny gesture of holding one's pinky finger, a small 'miss you' sms, a peck on the cheek to as large as a great big hug!

Isn't love a wonderful thing?
