Love, I feel is a state of dreams, which we never want to end. It is when we fail to see the reality of life, when we feel that the person we love is flawless. Even if the reality is staring back at us in the face, we tend to ignore it. But, there will be a time, when we wake up form this dream. Then what?
We slowly find that the person whom we thought to be the best in the world, suddenly becomes rude, stubborn etc, the list is endless. We forget that we also have some negative qualities in us and try changing the qualities of the one we love. The same qualities which used to make us happy, which we liked, which made us fall in love with the same person. The same qualities seem to be stupid, irritating and irrational. This is because, when in love we see what we want to see, our eyes are covered with a thick blanket of love. The problem starts when this so called "love" starts wearing off. All the promises made will be fogotten.
Do I say that all the eternal love stories are farce? No, not at all. I believe in all these love stories. Iam, in fact, a strong supporter of love. But not the love which I mentioned earlier. I believe in a love which is ready to accept a person inspite of all the negative qualities, specially which we dislike the most. Love is the courage to walk with that person when he/she committed a stupid mistake in front of everyone. Such love is eternal. Come any number of obstacles, it withstands them with a smile. It gives you confidence when you are down, it makes you smile even when your eyes are full of tears. It is a voice of encouragement in the middle of a million boos, it is like the support a mother gives to her child, selfless, pure and for life. Even if you fight, (which everybody will ofcourse), you make up for it. As Stephenie Meyer says, "After all, what was more important, in the end, than love?"
