LOVE…

Activity #14 (James Rodeo B. Ty)

What is love? Love? Love is an emotion, a feeling every living thing experiences. How does one experience this? Well, that is a mystery. Love can be defined in many ways. It depends on the living thing that feels it.

They say only human beings can feel this emotion. I don’t believe that. I believe anything that lives, can feel. And anything that can feel, can be loved or can show love.

I still haven’t answered the question. What is love? Like I said, love is defined in many ways. To some, love is just an emotion. To others, love is an incredible, awesome feeling that people can experience. Me? Well, I can’t really define love. Love is something that can’t be just explained through words. Sometimes you have to show it through actions.

Examples of love you ask? Okay… So let’s say there’s a mother and her child. The mother cares for her child through day and night. No matter what is happening, she always puts the child’s needs before hers. Although the child doesn’t do exactly the same, he cares for his mother and always stays with her. That is love. Another one? A teenage boy rescued a dog from the pound. Ever since then, the dog and the boy have been through many things together. Life, obstacles, hardships… But no matter what, they stay together. The dog stays by loyally with his master and the boy takes care of the dog. The dog does the same and aids the boy all the same. This is another kind of love. You want more?

This one is long. A young girl was lost in the forest. As night came, she started to get sad, lonely and cold. She found shelter in a cave and hid there. She fell asleep and was awoken by the sound of footsteps. In front of her was wolf. Although she was scared, she tried to remain calm because she knew, panicking will only make the situation worse. The girl stayed in the corner while the wolf just stared at her. The wolf got closer and hugged the girl. The wolf’s fur was warm and kept them both warm. They both fell asleep. The next day, the girl and the wolf left the cave. The wolf started howling and lead the girl to the road. She was then taken back home by a passing by car. She never wouldn’t have left the forest alive if it wasn’t for the wolf. The girl took the wolf home and took care of him. Many questioned her for keeping a wild animal as a pet. She didn’t care. The wolf saved her life, and she was to do the same and care for the wolf. This was another kind of love.

I know the stories were long, I apologize for that. But that’s how love is. It’s not supposed to be something short. It lasts for a long time. Me? I ‘m already loved. My parents, my siblings, and some of my friends too. Thank you for reading.
