"Can love be measured by the hours in
the day?" This line from the song from the movie "Love Story" is
one of the most beautiful lines I have heard. Can love be measured, period? What
is its measure, in any relationship?
Is it the amount of time spent together? Is
it the number of gifts exchanged the quality of the gifts? Maybe, branded gifts
as a measure of love? Or, daily calls? ... I don't know. All these seem to be
very important today.
I wonder if empty hands but a heart full of
love would suffice? Would it show in the warmth of affection in my eyes? In my
smile that lights up my face? In my bear hug greeting in my travelling miles to
be with someone on a special day. In the pain I feel ....or if my day starts
and ends with someone.
I wonder at how people judge you and
consider you fit for their friendship or love. What would be that criteria?
I wonder how people measure love in its
many forms. How many forms do they see? How many are they able to see? And how
do they interpret what they see.
I wonder.......all the time.... why there
is no common benchmark for love which can sustain the peace and togetherness on
this earth.
