Selfless Love.....

"If I love thee what is that to thee?" this is a Old saying..very old and very true. For if I,--I, who am writing this , love you, it is indeed nothing to you and should be nothing. You have actually no more to do with my emotions than the wind to the sea.The wind rouses me to exhilaration and excitation--the sea fills me with vague melancholy; but both wind and sea are unconscious of their effect upon my soul"
- copied from the Internet ,but liked the thoughts expressed

How many us are ready to love/respect a person who shows no interest in us or our well being ? Very Often the answer is a BIG "NO" followed by "You must be crazy to even suggest it" .

In an Engineers language, we are ready to treat others with respect and love only

if ((condition(1..n)==true) or (at least conditions(a smaller list) == true)) then
{

I will do so,..so.. and so in return

}
else
{

get lost I have better things in life to do than waste my precious time over you(I can conquer this world ,with the time I waste over making things right between us..just kidding:))

}
For the above "If construct"
Some conditions which could vary from {getting my my due respect and my space,get my award etc.. }
If condition true then I will {help you in work at home,office,or let u take the remote at home:)) }

We humans don't like to do any favours for anybody without having a ulterior motive behind it.It could be

1. recognition in the form of an award
2. love in return,
3. respect,
4. or just a look of appreciation(we thrive on Attention),
5. monetary benefit etc...the list is endless.

We think, even if I am in a position to help

"Why should I? "
"What do I get from doing this?"
"How is it going to help me? Will it bring me closer to my dream ,else why waste my energy on it?"
"Whats the whole point ?"

We are not ready to be good to others until it is reciprocated in some form.

It is quite difficult to fathom the meaning of selfless love and even more difficult to practice it in our daily life's.

For example

• Can I try not to get pissed off with that auto driver who is trying to make a quick buck by charging me double or triple of what he should be rightfully charging..??
• or when he refuses to budge an inch when it rains like crazy even though he has no potential customers in sight
• or say, that colleague who is trying to put you down in front of your co-workers/boss for no other reason than "getting visibility".
• or that guy who is honking like crazy in a traffic jam while trying to get ahead of you even though you know for sure that there is no way he is going to make it:)) Wonder if people realise that they are actually racing each other to reach their final destination -"their grave".Anyway who cares what I think , the thought was about not getting provoked in traffic jams.

Very often we are little more willing to forgive mistakes one in our family commits but not ready to budge an inch when it comes to forgiving trivial ones a stranger commits.

I think love begins with forgiving .

What I speak may seem so far fetched, and sound like a "impossible to attain" kinds.But as the saying goes "Nothing is impossible". If one works at it, one can... (Oops! I sound philosophical!).

OK..Got a bad habit of going on and on about a topic that's currently on my mind ,often not considering the infinite patience of my readers.So stopping my lecture here.Good day!
