A Beautiful Mind

“Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.”

I got a mail from one of my colleagues & this line was in his email signature. I liked it so much that kept thinking about it & then started to write this.
What a beautiful use of the word irresistible.

- Have you ever been liked by someone so much that that person just cannot RESIST looking (I think I should rather say staring :-)) at you?
- Have you ever been liked by someone so much that the person cannot RESIST sending you emails every morning even when you rarely reply?
- Have you ever been liked by someone so much that person just cannot RESIST calling you, even when you rarely call?
- Have you ever been liked by someone so much that person just cannot RESIST asking you to join for a cup of coffee, even when you have never offered a treat from your side?
- Have you ever been liked by someone so much that person just cannot RESIST sending you lovely quotes daily even you have never sent one?

What a lovely list… I cannot RESIST myself jotting such loving instances using the word RESIST. The feeling…the thought of love only is so good, simply irresistible. ;-)

I imagine how difficult it would be for a lover to RESIST the emotions when the beloved is NEAR. But still I feel the love is TRUE only when someone likes you even when you are FAR, loves you without a reason & continues to love you whether you give love in return or not.

Loves you so much that when you are near doesn’t have words to express the feelings, keeps staring you, words are lost, tongue is tied. This leads me to the other word which I always associate with true love, and that is SELFLESS.

True love is SELFLESS… it never thinks that if sometimes the lover screams, it will hurts the self-respect…it is just like the affection of mother towards her baby…soft & gentle…pure & without expectations…
Although I think this form of love is rarely found today and for most of the times it just plain infatuation of one person towards the other. More than the passion it has become a fashion. People like discussing about it in public, “You know he is so smart.” or, “Oh God, she is simply ravishing.” are heard so often from people. It appears like they are always trying to woo one person or the other to have just someone by their side.

Very few are found who keep their feelings buried deep inside the heart & disclose only in front of their love. Those people are really worth loving who wait over months or years, giving you time to understand their emotions. Even when we break off, they keep looking at us in the hope that someday God will listen to their silent prayers & we will respond.

If while reading this you feel someone is silently waiting for you, just turn back, run & hold their hands. I know sometimes words are hard to find but then just an expression of ‘HI’ or a mail saying ‘HELLO, how are you?’ is not a bad start to begin with.

The sanctity, purity, innocence, spell-bounded everything about love is fine. But then how long they should wait in today’s practical world is also a debatable question. The message is clear, the message is loud: “True love is rarely found, if you sense it’s around you, before they are forced by the circumstances of world to forget you, go & hold it tight in both you arms, and never leave.”
