I have in my writings and poems long debated about the existence of love; at times doubted it, some other times accepted it, at moments slandered its power but have most of the time been simply awed and dazed by an emotion so strong;humbled by the strength it endows a person.
Indeed perhaps one of the best kept secrets in modern day H.R. texts is that there is no stronger motivation than love or its antithesis -hate. Love has the strength to drive us further than we believed possible. In the name of love generations before us and generations after us will continue to make unbelievably altruistic sacrifices. So the company that can create love within its employees for itself, has gained a band of loyal followers that will stick behind it like a rock. But to create that love is supremely difficult and that is why strategies such as this are not thought for employees. Maximum HRs could hope for a sense of belonging and loyalty.
The anti thesis hate is a dark emotion that can equally stir up deep feelings. Indeed if love is an emotion that can make us do good, hate can make us do the biggest wrong. But enough. This post is about love and hate shall be added to the list of potential future topics.
Anyway the paradox is this most cultures value love but in many cultures love can often be forbidden and a sin in some forms. As a person who broke his heart and from the broken pieces found poetry flowing, love is a central theme. Also as an Indian where love is celebrated and cheered by the societies in the movies but when a guy goes around with a girl in real life, it is frowned upon. Indeed India is a land where arranged marriages are seen by parents as a duty to their wards and love marriages are a immoral, corrupting force destroying society.
But we are humans and our emotions are not in control. As a poet put it
" Aag ka kya hai pal do pal mein lagti hai,
Bujhte bujhte ek zamaana lagta hain."
(love is like a fire which can flare up in a moments but to die out or extinguish it takes a hole era)
Anyway my question is this does magical love exists. In fact have a look at "Walk The Line", a biopic movie about the singers Johnny Cash and June Cash. They were married to others when they met, johnny won her over after a lot of efforts and they were happily married for 35 years raising kids, playing music and died withing three months of each other. Is not that love that can be envied.
So does love matter and does true love exists

i think it exists but is very rare, that you will find two pple who are still in love with each other after so many years, and who go against the "familiarity breeds contempt" issue. unconditional love i think is what you mean. conditional love is common because it is easy to love someone who loves you and treats you nicely. and viceversa. but to love someone even though they may not or do not is perhaps the "true love" that one talks about. that being said, there are cases from the above where the person is more in love with the idea of love or is to egoistic to accept the brush off or is in love with his/her melancholy state or plainly wants to wallow in sadness. that i dont think is love. i think for most pple love is fleeting, there are times where you absolutely hate the other and then other times where you feel the exact opposite. in sad cases it does "disappear" to a certain extent and its mainly not coz the love changed but because both pple changed. anyway, i just wrote a really long winded answer to your question and i didnt even really answer it =)
I agree both with the fact that it exists and the fact that is rare.
The thing is when do we know if the love is true or not.
To wallow in sadness is a bad thing
Love is intrinsically full of joy.
And as someone said"love that is not returned lasts forever"
And yes my question remains unanswered
how do we know? its instinctive and youll just know, that its right. lot of things are instinctive, not just love, friendships, where you choose to work.
