L: This is the love we all crave for but are scared of. This love just doesn’t touch your heart, it touches the soul. The very core of your existence. I don’t blame people. It is scary.
L: Imagine feeling it for the wrong person. It would be the death of your mind, body and soul.
S: The basic instinct of human psyche is fear.
L: Love triggers fear, whether you like it or not. Fear of losing the one you love.
S: I really do ‘want’ it and not ‘love’ it.
L: Want is desire. Desire is a part of love, but it’s selfish. Love is selfless.
S: I believe behind everything there is a want, whether it be for yourself or for someone else. If it for yourself, it is selfish.
S: But if it is for someone else, then, too it the satisfaction that you long for. That feeling is the purer form of desire.
L: The satisfaction you get when you make others happy is what we all should aim for. We’ve started putting ourselves before others, which I think is a good thing till some extent. We’ve become too hesitant to reach our inner desires. We are too scared to let others satisfy us. We find comfort in ourselves.
