Love is powerful, according to what Paul says,

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

- Corinthians 13:13

Why love is greatest of all, is because it represents God and it serve as the reason why we are created. Remember that love is not only about romantic relationship, but also to your family, friends, neighbors, pet, country, nature and to everything that you feel love. But since love is powerful, some take this as a revenge.

I was helping my younger brother with his assignment, when I read a story about a lion who feel in love to a lady, and this is how that short fictional story goes;

There was a lion who fell in love to a beautiful lady. He went to lady's house and confess his feelings for her, he asked the parents of the lady if he can marry there daughter. The parents told the lion that they are glad for the lion's proposal, but they requested him if he can take his teeth and claws so that their daughter won't get scared of him, and after that they told the lion go back in their house. Although the lion don't want to take his teeth and claws, he still sacrifice it just to prove his love to the lady. The next day, the lion go back to the lady's house, and when the parents saw him, they mock and laugh at him, saying that he is a fool and don't have the chance to marry their daughter.

Although this is somewhat a comedy, having humorous scenarios but for me there is a deep meaning about the story.

First, it shows that even the bravest animal can be fool. Same in life, the one who known to be the strongest is the one who is vulnerable in loosing about love. That's why most people said, don't enter in a relationship when you're studying as it will affect your grades. In most cases those intelligent students failed in studies once they focus in love or became heartbroken. There are also some situations, that once a boy find the right woman, he started to change himself, to turn himself into a caring man from having a heart like a rock. I want to add here that beauty is deceiving, as what the video in Tiktok said, "Girl's don't cry if you're fooled by a man, because you prefer to choose the beauty over personality". They said that girls act like an expert investigators but still the most victim of cheating. Lol

Second, there's should be no gap in terms of love. In today's generation, although we have the freedom to choose and speak, there are still people who will judge your relationship; if you have a huge age gab, life status, height, beliefs and culture. It's actually toxic, but that's part of living, there are people who care about other's imperfections without realizing their own flaws, especially their manners.

Lastly, be careful in sacrificing your ownself, your happiness, dream, power, opportunities just because of fake love. Because there are people who find satisfaction in fooling others, and don't let yourself to be their target. Think multiple times, as at the end it's you who will suffer on what wrong decisions you have made.

There are reasons why we stop loving other people, and it's okay as long as you don't forget to love yourself. Remember, no matter how you stay away from love, but when it's true and intended for you, it will find ways for you to realized that it's worth of your acceptance; this is about the holistic of love.
