Love

All Indians are my brothers and sisters....something similar or exactly this I remember chanting in some place regularly in my childhood. Then I thought that all Indians are my relatives only. As I grew up, my understanding about the world improved and I came to know that nobody belongs to me except myself. The details and nature of that self' is also not known to me completely because one's thoughts, interests, moods and fancies keep changing time to time. Ego is the quite apparent thing I find in many people, including me. It is something which frequently stops us from being appreciable human beings. If somebody addresses us sir, we feel elated and respected and start considering the other one inferior to us. When everybody treats us as a useless fellow in many respects for reasons which we too don't know, we start feeling low and valueless.

How do we assess our value as a person in the present society? Is it by the money we are earning, fame we are carrying with us or the service we are rendering to the humanity publicly or secretly, the beauty we have or the quality of life we are leading?

What I think is that it is all like wind in nature. Nobody knows where it originates or in which direction it moves. Great people remain unknown to many and very few exhibitionistic and immoral beings get international fame in seconds. They start teaching us the lessons of morality which they do not practice in their personal lives. In this scenario, where nobody can assess the character or quality of a person with a first look or considerable research or observation of many years, how should boys proceed in the matters of love with modern girls? How many boys in this nation are loved by beautiful and educated girls even if they don't possess handsomeness, richness, bikes, cars, tactics of dating, hypocricy of youth, lack of vision and so on?

The most crucial and critical thing in the present Indian society is winning the heart of a beautiful girl within two months or so and getting her ready to marry without cheating her on any front. Check if she doesn't ask you to contact her parents? She may be a complete individual in other respects but not in deciding her marriage or love for somebody. Yes, this is a challenge and anybo(d)y can test it. One should be very honest and ideal in one's approach in this regard. Live-in relationship is something I could not understand completely. Is it something related to love or a way to fulfill mutual needs of company of opposite gender, not minding what others think about it? I believe that much of love being understood and practiced by the present-day youth is selfish, visionary and commercial. It's all business. Argue below, if you have something?
