True Love: Compassion and Mercy

Its been quite a while since last I wrote, I don’t remember when it was. It doesn’t matter. Hopefully, you guys that read this, is in good shape. I try to make it short this time, an acquaintance told me, she usually read only my first paragraph of my entry. Ahahahaha never mind. I’ll try to satisfy my reader anyway but however ensuring they get my messages ^-‘^

Okay, what I wish to talk about this time? I want to talk about love.. I know it’s been so long since last time I talked about love. I think its like five month already since last I posted massively about love. But this time my dearest readers, it is not just a simple love. I wish to talk about true love..

Why suddenly I wish to talk about it? I have no idea man.. dude it just suddenly blipped into my thought. Maybe something is messing with my thought, never mind, let’s make it not important shall we and continue to the main context.

To make the scope smaller to be understood, let’s talk about humanly true love. So today I will not discuss directly about divinely true love. Yeah I know some people, they really love saying those Islamic words like the love of Allah is the only true love. It is good to think that way. But I wish to discuss it in more socio-practicable way. Which mean, love between humans.

Okay there is true love but not a perfect true love, we are believers, and we expect perfection only from Allah. So what did you expect in true love? I don’t know. But I guess most people would expect something like understanding, similarities, and what so called chemistry between two persons. Is thing like that relevant? Yeah I guess so if it is achievable. Then what will happen to those who are unable to achieve that? Well supposedly everyone deserve true love right? Like I told you, if it is achievable, but if it is not? You just need to try other definition. Try mine then.

 To me, true love, is not when two people have similarities or what so called chemistry, it is when two people being there for each other, never give up for each other, attending each other, give efforts to understand each other weakness and tolerate with it. Forget about finding the right person, find the person who will still be with you, guiding you, or a person you are willingly to guide them when they are not being the right person. Find a person that never walked away, and always gives efforts to make things better. That is the right person, and that is true love.

Look, everyone wanna be happy with their dream partner. But remember, sometimes what you want is not the right thing. But the right thing will always be the right thing. Why do I call that true love? Because love is compassion and mercy. See, you don’t find those two in chemistry. Doesn’t mean when two person like the same singer, they have deep compassion in each other. But when a person is really mess up, and another decide to accept it and deal it with them together, that is compassion. Look for compassion and mercy in your partner. Not similarities.

Well says that if you look for similarities, tell me, if you are dumb, will you look for somebody that is also dumb? So that you can be dumb together forever and be damned. No.. Look for someone who will stop you from continuously being dumb, because he knows, being dumb will hurt you. There is a thin line different in being dumb and being clumsy. Yeah, I know, sometimes when you are clumsy, it is cute to your partner. So, don’t be dumb. And I prefer, don’t be clumsy also. There is a lot of ways to be cute.

Im sorry for today’s content, it seems less academic. But then, I hope it will still benefits you though it is only little. I wish you have a good life.

Allahu a’lam.
