Is Love Really the Most Important Thing in Life? Share Your Thoughts!

Things More Important Than Love

There are several things that are more important than love. Can you share your opinion?

Dear sir,

Thanks a lot to Nitu, Vinnu, Sayeed, and Bhaskar. Your contribution matters a lot to me. My special thanks to Vinnu for mentioning parents in the list as they are one of the lost identities after they grow old. Can we provide them with unconditional positive regard?

There are several things that we value, but sometimes we do not value the valuable things in life.

Further opinions are expected.

There is one story that goes like this:

In a TV show, a father was called and asked, "Would you allow if your son/daughter does love marriage?"

He said, "I know my son/daughter very well. I support it because he/she knows what is good for him/her. I brought him/her to take decisions on his own. Surely, he will select a good girl."

Then his son/daughter was called in, and the TV man asked, "Would you accept if your father asked you to do arranged marriage?"

He/she replied, "I will accept because my father knows my nature, and his selection will be the best."

Did you get anything from this story?

I understood that parents should believe their children, and children (grown-ups?) should trust their parents.

I mean they never hide such sensitive issues. They will openly discuss and make the right decision.

But above all, there is one famous quote in Tamil, "If you want to die cell by cell, better fall in love" (Anu anuvaaga saaga theermaanitha pin Kaathalippadhe sariyaana mudivu - Poet Arivumathi).

Actually, I was not interested in participating in this discussion, but I could not control myself because this subject encompasses everything on earth. It should be properly understood.

Last but not least, "LOVE NEVER FAILS."

But I think that this sentence is wrong; that love is not the most important thing in life. I'll say yes, it's the most important thing because if love is not there, you can't love your parents, yourself, your country, or your relations (any relations). The basis for all relationships or any kind of attachment is love only. If you can't love your parents, you won't like them or live with them. How can you then say love is not important in life?

I believe all forms of love we hold in our hearts are the reason we are on this earth. Otherwise, everyone in this world would commit suicide for just a small reason because they lack love in their hearts for their fellow beings, nature, and country. So, I believe in long live love and let's love all, but no cheating. God is the ultimate form of love above all.

Dear Mr. Bhaskar,

For you, I can say I am not blindly in love, but I believe that love is the basis for all relationships in this world. Love is the only thing that connects me, you, and everyone on this earth with the supreme power, GOD. If you can't love your fellow beings, then how can you connect to your God, who is the source of love and purity?

So, sir, I can say that any mistakes I have made in expressing love are due to some other reason, okay? Please don't judge anyone too soon.

Hello,

Thanks to all of you - Vinnu, Shakty, Subramanium, and Ambe. It is great to hear from all of you. The story by Subra is very good. Here comes trust.

Every human being needs at least three things in life:

1. Human dignity
2. Emotional support
3. Trust

The fourth will be love. But without the first three, love has no meaning. That is why our words of love are not taken in the way they were meant to be said. Keep the flame of love burning.

Mr. Subramanian,

Thank you for being in the discussion. You have shared a very good message from this story.

Mr. Sanjay,

There are so many things that are important - parents, career, ethics, friends, and many more things. We engage in numerous activities in our routine life that bring us momentary happiness, so you can say that our love is involved in that. Love is everywhere. You just have to feel it in every small thing.
