Love and suffering: two extremes of feeling
Once, I was very afraid of suffering. It seemed that this feeling could erase all the joys of life. But with time, I learned to understand that suffering is the biggest teacher of our lives. In those days when it seemed like nothing was left in life, hardship taught me to live anew.
But today, when I think about love, I am afraid of it. The deep emotion in love makes us mentally weak. Love sometimes floats in the ocean of joy and sometimes sinks in the depths of pain.
We usually view suffering in a negative light. But suffering teaches us stability in life. It breaks us, and builds us up again. The pain that I once feared, now I understand has strengthened my mind. Every difficult moment has taught me how to believe in myself.
Love is a feeling that changes people completely. But the fear of love arises only when we see the possibility of losing a loved one. Love involves deep expectations and emotions. And if these expectations are not fulfilled, suffering is born. Love becomes terrifying when we lose its selfless form.
Love exposes all our weaknesses. It is an emotion that makes our minds weak and dependent. And when love is rejected, its scars are deeply scarred in our hearts. So many people start to fear love, to escape from this emotion.
Love and pain complement each other. One cannot be complete without the other. That's the depth of love that causes pain. But this suffering teaches again the importance of love.
So When I look back today, I understand that pain and love are both essential parts of our lives. If suffering strengthens the mind, love teaches the depth of the heart. So the days of fearing hardship are behind me. And being afraid of love is a mental state that changes over time.
Every pain and love in life is part of our experience. Therefore, instead of fearing them, one should try to understand them. Every time think Life is a beautiful story, where suffering and love create our true selves.
