The Chemistry of love
Love is a divine chemistry that can not be analyzed
with the apparatus of lust
Depending on the nature of relationship, you have to
really define your intention from the very onset. Would you sacrifice your
values in the name of ‘love’ and be at the receiving end? Or would you rather
be subject to the whims and caprices of ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing
that go about seeking whom to devour? Be
wise! Be cautious! Be responsible!
Yes, be responsible for your actions when it comes to
relationship. This is because there are misconceptions that often lead astray.
What many refer to as love is nothing but lust that is predicated upon mere
feelings to satisfy inordinate affection, rather than a ‘soulish’ touch between
two that are deeply connected in the spirit of true affection and care.
Such was the situation of a friend who was tricked by his
own flesh and lustfully dabbled into the domain of marriage. But no sooner had
he started than he found out he was his own devil; the marriage turned against
him and was left with no option than divorce. Those who equate true love to
sexual tendency towards the opposite sex should better have a rethink.
In fact, any relationship in which a partner prioritizes
sex over every other issue, is questionable. For the unmarried, abstinence is
more honourable than having hot pants that strips off at the touch of every
tom, dick and harry. For the married, true, undiluted and symbiotic love is the
key to a lasting relationship that can stand the test of time.
A partner whose
priority bothers on sex most times would most likely abandon you on the sick
bed, when you’re unable to give him sex. And one who lusts after you for the
love of your money would disown you in trying times. Beware!
This is why I maintain that true love is divine; it cannot be analyzed with the apparatus of lust. Unlike lust, true love is caring, considerate, kind, truthful and honest; it is forgiving, patient and sacrificial. It is not selfish, nor defrauding nor egoistic. The cord of affection between the two in love constraints them to seek the good of each other. Any relationship that is devoid of these traits cannot be synonymous with true love.
