Lesson on Love

 “Your task is not to seek for Love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”- Rumi

There are so many types of love. Love to your special someone, love to your children, love to your mother/father, love to your family members, siblings and to those around you. At first, I don't understand what is the quote about. Then I think of unconditional love. This love must come from a person who never creates any barrier against it. I noticed that there are so many barriers that we all have created for each of these type of love.

I think that the generation before us has so many love inside of them compared to the current/upcoming generation. I saw a documentary on WWII, knowing all those men go and fight for their country without any questions or expecting any recognition on their sacrifice.Their inner strength and self values is so high. After WWII ends, they resume to their normal life, living like nothing ever happened. I wonder if we can easily find a group of young men these days that has a brave heart or strong inner strength, without selfishness and willing to sacrifice it all. If you want someone to do something big, there must be a value or anything for them in return.

I always missed the faith that our forefathers has. Older generation has so much faith among them and towards their young that I found it is hard to get nowadays. People has becoming more lazy and lost interest to give faith ( or love) to their youngs. There is always the negativity and barriers - lost of faith- to let down our ego. I like people with big heart.

These are some of the barriers that we have put inside of us, that unable us to give love to the people, and vice versa- to have love. Love is unconditional, so when we create love that is conditional we actually did not get anything in return. Because love in its true form is unconditional. True support and true love creates last relationship, creates harmony and willingness to sacrifice someone's effort, thought and etc that substantially tightens the unity.
