The incomplete love
Isabella discovers she’s going to have a baby and so she’s going to foster that child in her womb for nine months. Throughout this period she is going to have pains, cramps, sleepless nights, pain kicks, fever and all other type of discomfort a woman going to have a baby will surely have. The weirdest part of all these is that instead of feeling repulsive to the child causing these discomfort, she gets more attracted to her(the child).
Isabella is now in the labor room after nine months and is about to face greater pain. She knows the child has grown bigger being from embryo to fetus and now child, it won’t be easy coming out for there will be screams, curses, whimpering, tearing, bleeding, fear, struggle,weeping and after all these the baby comes out. Isabella doesn’t reject the baby for putting her through agony instead she springs out deep affection and because she can’t bear to see this innocent child unattended to, she takes it upon herself again to care for her child.
Google, Merriam-Webster, Men define love to be deep attraction, sexual intimacy, affection and care( in summary I mean ). Isabella’s story up there shows to me that love is greater and much more deeper than these.
A guy meets a girl and says to her “ I have fallen in love with you”. She blushes and believes and opens up herself, they both have carnal knowledge of themselves and after some time they are tearing at each other and finally they break up. What happened to the love?
A man marries a lady at the altar, swears he loves her and vice versa and they take an oath at the altar to always love themselves in any given condition. After some time in marriage, there is breakup. What happened to the love?
Father and their little children enjoy blissful family togetherness until children turns teen and parents become distrusting and judging. After some time there is argument, tearing at each other and finally breakup. Home is divided. What happened to the love?
Now I ask, does love have an ending? Is there a limited version of love?
From Isabella’s story I can deduce three components of love which are not unknown to us, they are ATTRACTION, AFFECTION and CARE. In the final part of this article, I will give a detailed conclusion on the last and missing piece of love which has being in existence since creation but has been ignorantly neglected. This last component of love has been so neglected and rejected that divorce and breakup has taken a bullish direction extending to generations.
I would surely and be so happy to receive your comments as contributions, questions or answers to what this last component might be.
