Love Is Hope

LOVE IS HOPE, HATRED IS HOPLESS “Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness, In the union of love I have seen In the mystic miniature the prefiguring vision, Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined” -Bertrand Russell What is LOVE?? Love is an emotional state of joy and acceptancedictionary of psychology. Truly Love is a very deep feeling which differentiates human from animals. Hope is a shadow of love. It follows love throughout. Hope is the most exciting thing in life, and if you honestly believe love is out there, it will come. Love is a sublime feeling that slowly transforms the way of thinking and inculcates the feeling of confidence and faith in oneself. Love is free, it percolates all the boundaries of caste, creed, nation and religion. Love believes in impossible. The moment love truly touches the strings of our souls, we become more caring, more optimist and more sharing. Love illuminates our lives and makes it worth living. love is a potent instrument of reconciliation, in a world where individuals strive to live a serene and balanced existence love helps to overcome confines of intolerance and gently creates the environment of patience , respect and acceptance of differences. Love is the carrier of Hope lighting the pathway to reconciliation, often obviating its need altogether. Hatred an the other hand with its indifference, to the appeal of reconciliation is hopeless. Hatred inculcates extremism and is the cause of mental suffering. It takes away peace of mind and constantly burns the blood of the beholder. The feeling of love creates the feeling of likeness and appreciation for all the living beings. It is a powerful instrument to spread brotherhood and peace in the world. Hatred on the other hand has always been a cause of human disaster and has taken away innocent lives in the past and is also taking away in present world. World wars were the extreme example of hatred, and in present scenario terrorism is nothing but the hatred for mankind. Terrorism is wrapped with hopelessness and hatred. “Hope comes to those who know to love, Despair comes to those who have lost hope, And hatred is the child of despair” -E.Y.Rodes

Love helps to overcome all the despairs; it instills brotherhood and coexistence of everyone in the world. It nourishes good thoughts and soul. It is aptly the food of soul and music of heart. Hate on the other hand kills the soul and transforms a human into beast. It is creates self pity. It takes away the happiness from life and leaves the individual without hope, faith and trust thereby putting a question mark over an individual’s serene existence. The opposite of love should not be hatred but indifference, for hatred in the extreme form takes away the soul of individual and makes the live miserable. Hatred never believes in coexistence and thus creates misbalance in the society. Man as a social animal strives for social acceptance which is the driving force of all what a person does. In the absence of love the social acceptance is not possible. People strive for social recognition and affection which are all byproducts of love. Hatred in all the forms is devoid of acceptance , it not only takes away hope but also leaves an individual without the reason of peaceful existence.
