If love reigned...

Sometimes I just sit back to wonder what life would have been if the word; "love" wasn't just a word that people utter without really actualizing it.

Imagine if the world was filled with people who care for others, people who take the needs of others like it was actually theirs, filled with people who can't stand seeing another mortal like themselves; suffer.

But...

It's too sad and bad, love is very much far from us. Love is only a word that is used to pacify our emotions. Don't quote me wrong, I'm referring to that kind of love...that kind of love that's unconditional, soothing and loving. That undeserving kind of love.

  • If love reigned, there would be peace not war.

  • If love reigned, there would be blessings not curses.

  • If love reigned, there wouldn't be divisions leading to conflicts, but unity.

  • If love reigned, we might just never had known the meaning of greed or pain. Our leaders would have been better leaders; ruling and raising good and supportive followers.

  • If love reigned... what is jealousy? What is malice?, What is hatred?, What is... Oh! If love reigned. What would we know of such bad happenings in the world?

Kidnappings, rituals, killings, rape, battering, pains...

  • If love reigned...there would be serenity in our land. Men won't beat their wives, mothers won't abandon their children, people won't be raped, sufferings would be less heard.

A little digression, but still in line with the topic.

Someone who I respect alot, posted this picture prompt on his status and told me to write a poem on it, the poem below is what I came up with. If you can also write a poem on it, I'd be delighted to read it in the comment section.

Pass it on.

Pass it on.

To the one who is all lonely and sad

with depression hovering in his heart,

don't hold back; learn to give when you have.

You never can tell who you'd make smile.

The world wouldn't be so bad, if we held each other's hands.

The world wouldn't be so bad,

If we held each other's hands.

Friendships would have lasted long,

if the love instilled in our hearts

never allowed greed make it all go wrong.

Oh! Let's hold eachother's hands,

walking all the way to the top,

and after this has been done,

Let's keep this always in our minds;

to keep spreading love: "pass it on."

Love is a beautiful thing, I wish it doesn't reign only in our mouths, but reigns more in our hearts.

We are gifted with so many things, there are people out there who needs us to lead them to the part of success.

So then... Learn to pass it on, let love lead. Most people wants to progress, even if it's to the detriment of others.

If love reigned... but sadly it's just a mere wish.

A congratulatory message to myself: Yesterday, I reached the three digits numbers (100subscribers.) I couldn't have done this alone, I remember my starting point and how @Tomi-Ajax words actually kept me going. I was at the edge of loosing myself.

Hundred percent correct, nudge is alarm for us to do or not to do. I experienced good results sometimes following the sign of nudge and also experience little bit bad result from nudge too. If you ever played ludo star game, there I've lots of thought which usually made me vacillate.

Love is the name of a strange feeling. Which cannot be expressed but can be felt from the depths of the mind. The poem has also become beautiful.

Jealousy is something usual in any love story because if another partner isn't jealous means it doesn't care about you at all or for him you are just for cooking and cleaning clothes and that's all.

I want to congratulate you on your first hundred subscribers. (...big ups to me too, for being a part of the amazing people, Lol). Concerning the post, you're so right, Elle. We have since forgotten what love really is and therefore, reduced it's true essence. May we come to realise the importance of love in our lives and, may it's light so shine abroad in our hearts that it permeates every nook and cranny of our world. Amen!

If the actual genuine love exists within us, I believe God himself would have come to physically to stay with us, because everywhere will be livable and clean, He won't be suffocated with issues here and there.
