“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength,

while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” 
― Lao Tzu

Good day folks, once I was asked to write about love, and I really don't have any idea what to write, because I don't have an idea of what is love?

I could copy 100 quotes about love, people would say good job as well, press some likes... and nothing. What writing gives us? For me, I feel good being able to share what is in my mind, it is king of relieve your brain, or mind. Relieving your own thoughts gives real feeling of relief, thats why copying others words will not work here.

And again, what is love? Baby don't hurt me:) at least enjoy cool music.

Why it is not easy to me to talk about love? Because it is hard to talk about subject you don't know or never experienced truly. Thats why I can only give my idea and opinion. 

I think, love is composition of feelings and emotions, which affect love in different proportions. Again, I could give example from metallurgy, but it would be long, boring and hard:D

Even pure love needs efforts from both sides, or requirements, without which love is unstable or not going last long. Thats question of all times of humankind, without answer and solution. Thats why people fall in love all the time, and do mistake all the time (but not all of them of course). Love is universal feeling of attraction, or bond between people. Here I tell about love between 2 genders, which finally lead to marriage, to make it easy and clear to understand. 

As I said before, Loves requires, or consists of other feelings: such as responsibility, care, courage, self-sacrifice, trust, loyalty, honestly, patience, passion, craziness, madness. Add each of component in needed %, according to your personality. Thats why 2 similar loves don't exist, cuz there no same personalities in the world as well.

For me personally it is hard to talk about love, again I repeat, cuz it requires some courage (real one) cuz we put our lives (life is too much, but at least we put our souls). Putting our souls on it, like bet on casino table, is very risky thing. So here we can tell, love requires risk as well, ability to take and handle risks. As some people "bet all" in casino to get jack pot, same in life, people risk "all in" to obtain highers level of love. 

In other way, real love doesn't require fame, glory, attention, etc. It is fake love (in my opinion) to achieve something else (peoples attention, money, to keep interest on your personality, for celebrities especially). Real love doesnt need spectators, support group, fans or crowd. Maybe thats why I don't like to talk about love in general as well. Love is meant to be lived, not to be talked. More we talk about it, far it becomes from us:

"...here was once a dream that was Love. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish... it was so fragile..." -- I took quote from Gladiator movie, dialogue between Marcus Aurelius and Maximus. I only replaced word Rome with Love.

And, at the very beggining, I added quote of Lao Tzu, which I liked most about Love:

"Being deeply loved gives you strength, 

and loving deeply someone gives you courage"

--- as a conclusion, love gives us strength and courage, strength and courage opens any door in our lives, to what we want to achieve and where we want to be ---
