What is love? πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”

 Something I've heard about love." love is everywhere in the world, everyone has met it, but no one knows what love is." 

In fact, from the moment  we conceive in the Womb, we find love in our mothers and fathers. Then as we grow older, we find love not only from our parents, but also from our relatives, teachers, and friends. But the love we get from our parents are different, the love we get from our friends, relatives and teachers are different. As soon as we reach the age of 16 or 18, we start looking for another love. So we are always looking for love to connect with the world. 


Jesus said in the Bible, ' to Love your neighbor'. But according to Buddhism there is another bond called love. The Supreme Buddha says, " let go of all attachments so that we can rid of sorrow" . Actually I think, keeping a close connection is an everlasting agony. That is to say, we love our loved ones. It saddens us to be separated from our loved ones. In another word, love always sighs like a furnace. It's because if we love someone, we always expect love from that person. 

According to Buddhism, I think this is how I define love.

L - Land of sorrow

O - Ocean of tears

V - Valley of death

E - End of life

But I know that no one has yet found any meaning to the four letters of love. So as I said before, no matter where we find love, none of us knows what it is.
