Hello readers
Hope you guys are doing

“A clear rejection is
always better than a fake promise”
These days people are
using this one word for all possible, reasons it is been a constant tradition of making
movies on it, marketing this word countless number of apps and website about
this word.
Well the word is
"love" well we all know about this word and we also have experienced
it.
The first person you
would have experienced love is from your mom and dad.
Well what is love? Is it
that feeling that makes you hug someone or is that moment where you smile
to yourself silly when you remember that person?
Well I must say even
though these words are close to love, but they are not.
This process of love at
first site then, meeting up with your soul mate getting married is all bookish
and is most suitable to be a very good movie.
But let me narrate a
short story which will help us understand that real meaning of love.
This story was written by
me few years ago here we go:
Long ago during there was
a great war going on in Europe , deep in the woods when all the soldiers were
trying to protect their camps, they heard the sound of mounted troops advancing
towards them, even though the watch towers tried to restrict them , the
cavalry was too strong and destroyed the towers and
advanced further.
All the soldiers used all
the ammo they had and tamed down this outrage except for the last troop, as
they were out of ammo they ran for their lives.
Among the soldiers who
ran was Lt. John , who was known for his quality of sacrifice in his battalion
so he managed to hide his troop including the sergeant beside a deep trunk of a
tree and gave the enemies a chase of their life, until he was cornered by them
in an old barn, when he looked at the snowy sky and thought that was his end,
indeed his prayers were answered when the enemies heard a stiff rustle in the
bushes which distracted them and the John got hold of his rifle and fired
rounds of bullets that rattled the enemies fled in retreat.
The curious lieutenant
wanted to know who caused such a noise which helped him to save himself from
the enemy.
When he was about to
investigate, there came out a beautiful lady who looked quite frightened and confused
and was still trying to understand what just happened.
Seeing her John smiled at her and said “thank you miss” for
saving my life, hearing this the lady was revealed and replied, “ glad to be of
service sir and I must thank you for trying to protect our state at the cost of your own life.!”
Well they say their souls were in-sync from the
moment they had met, well the lady introduced herself as Clara a shepherded
women who depended on the wool of her sheep and its meat for her living.
So the situation of war
was unstable , the unpredicted attacks by the enemies made John worried about
the survival of his army.
But as the saying goes, “
all is fair in love and war” the war went on and John met Clara occasionally
during his usual rounds in the forest.
enemies, unfortunately most of the soldiers martyred in the
attempt John and his two segments got on their horses and galloped only to be pursued
by the enemy.
They landed up in the
same barn again, and hid themselves, but were spotted by the enemies, John hid
in the bushes, the same bushes where he had met Clara for the first time,
eventually he was caught by the enemies and was dragged out, they were asked to
choose between death or to be jailed for life all the three brave men , promptly
selected death, the first two were executed brutally.
Then came the turn of the
Lt. John, who just prayed for one last time and was blind folded by the firing
squad, ready to be massacred.
He was shot four bullets,
and then the miracle happened! Well he never felt the pain of the bullets,
suddenly his blindfold was removed and he was shocked to see that Clara came
in- between and saved his life, oh what a tragedy exclaimed John and, shot himself.
Well there ends the
story. Well coming back to this word ‘love’ now, do we now understand it
at-least? I have only thing to say love is where your will to sacrifice even your life
for the person whom you love or the country you love.
Let us all understand the
true meaning of love, buying gifts needlessly and showing off the materialistic
person in you will not hold good for long, start accepting people how they are,
and start being compassionate to your surroundings, why I use the word
surrounding is to highlight that we must all love, nature and its creations among
which we are a part of.
Hope you liked my story.
Changing your perception
is the key to success, look for positives ignore the negative.
Thank you.
