Something of Myself

Scribble
This is a loose attempt, primarily because I am running short of time. Work pressure.
Have been thinking of writing something on ‘love’. The meaning of it. What we make of it. What it stands out to be. The seemingly in-between affair of it all. The fabrication. The distortion.
The conditions.
Why do we stop people from doing things, specially the ones we don’t like? If you stopped going to a brothel, would it make me love you more? If you started smoking, would I love you less? Habits are relatively easier to change but what about personality? Character? Mindset? Things which you have been all these years? For instance, you have learned that violence is of no use, so can I really persuade you to be violent for the sake of my love?
The blooming point of all this baffling is how important is it to change just because someone else wants you to change? I am not worried about the nature of change, but the need for it. Why can we not accept people just like the way they are? Where is the problem? Can we pin-point it?
Why can some people never say no to others while others do it with an amazing alacrity?
I am searching for answers. Quite desperate actually.

love is what your heart feels. it is a power to make someone smile, laugh, it is the power to make someone love you in return. it is the sharing and caring. the want and the need.it is a bond, a way to keep people together. in love, everything is so wonderful.
we cant accept because we love ourselves more than anybody else and so this desire to change things, people, characters as per our needs and likings. the day you love someone more than yourself the desire to change will also not be there.and habits, bad habits should be changed. it is our concern and care for someone that drives us to do so.
you cant say no because you dont want to. maybe because you dont want to make someone unhappy. you do say no to so many people all the time. even if you love that person. i think we take some people for granted. their love, care and concern and treat them as we want to. it is like owning someone. it is like i am your master. and we let some people take us for granted. and in the desire to make them happy do everything at their call. EVERYTHING. why? ask yourself
I dont think love has got anything to do with 'power'. At least power in the modern sense of the term.
Your second point is confusing. If you love someone more than yourself, why would you stop desiring for change?
How do you know I say no to so many people all the time? Name them.
Master, ownership...very loaded. Cant digest! ;)
i think you know what i meant when i said love is power.. it definitely is. love makes people live. makes us happy.
when you love someone more than yourself, you accept him as he is.everything about him is worth loving. the desire to change goes because the good, the bad and the ugly is accepted. you only want to change when you cannot accept. when you, your likes and dislikes are more important than anyone else.you need to love someone so much to understand this.. i know you say no because i get to hear it the most.. am sure i can name more when we meet.
life is all about ownership.. you have to take it till the day you live...even if you are very loaded you have to digest...
:) Mysterious Woman. Your I-get-to-hear-it(no)-the-most made me laugh my guts out! Now I think I know who you are! You blistering barnacles!
And btw, I meant the words were 'loaded' not me you idiot! You think I am pregnant or something?!
