Love is a higher cognitive emotion,its basic emotional component is attraction.In what ever way you define it this basic character would be there.
Like love there is still a higher cognitive emotion for which I cannot find a word in English that truly reflects its connotations and that is "Bandagi"(servitude).Its is an extreme form of love in which you give yourself completely to the other being.
You can love many but there is only one person you give your heart to,whose beauty you praise above all,for whom you will change yourself,in whom you forget yourself and give your free will to.You become one and inseparable.
Some people have this emotion for God , some for an other human being,some have it for a particular philosophy or an activity for example science or service of humanity.
But I think care should be taken before taking such a step because once you are in there is no question of using rationale, you have already given up yourself and that thing is going to change yourself.It will define what you will become : either a blessing or a curse for humanity.

ReplyDeletePerson 1 :"I used to think men falling in "ishq-e-majazi" are simple rather stupid souls who become a puppet in hands of their fickle emotions but now I rather envy their ability to carry out that "nafs ko pamaal kerna" type of ability.Its a step to higher kind of Love which those who never experience ishq-e-majazi (I just think so ) are somehow less capable of enjoying.
ReplyDeletePerson2: love is bullshit. humans only have tendencies, passions, crushes or likings. Their is nothing what u call love. No one gives himself totally to another being. Things may seem like love at one time but actually it is passion or craze whatever u may like u can call it but not love.
