Ever wondered why to every left there is a right? And to every right there is a wrong? why there is a male and a female? Why there is a black and a white? Why there is a husband and there is a wife and why you are different from everyone you see around you? These opposites spell out diversity and balance but what they signify the most is relationship. Relationship is the bedrock of our existence. It's the foundation out of which we were formed and forged into life. With no relationship with each other, there would be no I nor You. There would be no us. However, today the word or the phenomena, relationship has been contorted to fit certain people's definition of a relationship to satisfy their own needs or interests. Many people have suffered hurt at the hands of these people who have tainted the true meaning of a relationship. Relationships revolve around true love and I use true love because that word, love has also has been misused to mislead people's emotions. Fortunately, true love does exist and it's the ultimate pursuit of happiness and fulfillment. Love is so powerful, yet so gentle. Love is so passionate but yet so pure. Love is not just a statement or a document you sign your names on. Love is not a piece of jewelry that you adorn a woman with, but it involves commitment and actions that portray heartfelt feelings. Love is selfless and also requires work but the creation from that work is nothing short of a miracle. Although, the issues of love and relationships might have caused you hurt and pain in the past, do not let it keep you from experiencing love. Do not find yourself to be among those who say, I don't need a man to be happy or I don't need a woman to be happy. Both statements are right and wrong. You don't need someone to make you happy because the real work starts with you. You can't be unhappy and expect someone to be happy with you. You have to love yourself first before someone else can love you. The wrong thing with that statement of not needing anyone is that it shows that you're not truly happy. You may be happy but not fully happy since the final stop of true happiness is love and when you arrive at that stop, you always want to share it with someone that really deserves it.Now, the journey to love may not always be smooth but never give up on love. Don't let the past issues of relationships make you give up on love rather give in to love, because it will surely show up when you least expect it, and erase those old and sad memories you may have experienced in life.
