This is for you Nirmala. You asked me a question and that led me to write this.
Love and respect are two different qualities.
Love is a simple word but it contains different emotions and various perspective.Love cannot take the same meaning to all the people ,It varies .How can such a small word play a very important thing in our life !?? People often get confused between like and love. Everyone experience the emotion "like" when they meet a new person who is similar to them or has some interesting qualities. Whereas people experience love when they genuinely care about some person.Love in most cases takes up advantage of the other people. This emotional attachment always leads to jealousy which makes it worse. Falling in and out of love can be very easy but maintaining it constantly is a different phase.When Love brings 💯 happiness in one's life it surely brings double the amount of sadness and pain.
Respect is a very strong emotion.There are two types of respect: one is to respect others and the other one is to get respected by others . Both are difficult to achieve .To respect others one should have to learn to value others,be calm ,and always try to find good qualities in others to make others shine in their life .In the current generation it is difficult for a person to respect others and value others' true potential.For being respectful, an individual should always make his first impression the best ,should always think the thing to do ,always analyze your actions before you commit them .
As Love varies in different forms there is one love which is constant but very hard to follow.This kind of love happens to have the qualities like treating everyone as the same , never hurting anyone and has only positive thoughts. Only this kind of love can bring out respect.
When a person respects you i.e. admires you for what you are you and the way you are, there comes true love which is selfless and pure .
So choose respect over love . Respect needs more love than just an emotion called "love".
