"We make a living by what we earn; we make a life by what we give" - Sir Winston Churchill
Perhaps the two most magical words that exist are LIFE and LOVE. Yet, they are the two most synonymous words I know. This ambiguity is corroborated by the fact that they both are as difficult to describe as simple as they actually are.
Life is a mystery that has yet to be unraveled for several years even by the brightest of minds. We all just wake up one day to it, yet nobody understands what we did to deserve it - whether life is a form of penance or liberation. This life has no meaning. It makes no sense. If life was just thrust upon me, then there must be something I ought to do with it. Right? A purpose I must prove. Purpose…
Love is the greatest gift. It also has the uncanny ability to reflect. When we look with love, we see more love returned in the form of beauty. Meaning everything I love looks beautiful to me and vice-versa. Love in its purest form has no reason for it. I just love…, and I don’t know why. And the people I love are all beautiful because of my love. Which doesn’t really make any sense. Why should I love?
Life and Love are similar both in lucidity and in vagueness. Even, only a letter differentiates 'living' from 'loving'. Perhaps the key to unlocking this riddle is by finding the product of the two i.e. (Life × Love). Which to me, is a Life of Love. A life of Love is a life of giving; a life of sacrifice on the altar of love. A life of love is a life worth giving; just like Jesus did on the cross. The greatest life ever lived was a life of giving the greatest gift. He gave Life and He gave Love.
When we give love, we receive beauty. By doing this, we walk the road of purpose and make a meaning out of life and out of love. So let us show love today. It reflects! And it brings a beautiful life. One worth living.
