life is such a mystery, that it is amazing to unravel it. Love was something which always baffled me. I used to think love is such a great thing without any boundaries, then how come you can love only your family and not your neighbour. How come you cry only for your family and not for someone else. Few days back I was reading "community and psychology", they were discussing about basic needs of man. Love was one of them. But they defined love a sense of attachment. Then I thought the love we share with our family is our basic need, and that is a sense of attachment. So in a family every member is satisfying other member's need of attachment.
But then where is the love which I defined earlier. That is actually the spiritual definition of love. That love is god. God doesn't have any boundaries. it is not less or more. It is always a source of immense happiness.
The problem with love(attachment) is that it makes us obsessed. We think that we cannot live without our near and dear ones. While this is just a false belief, and is proven in every sphere of life. Family doesn't want their children to go away for work, once they are gone things are fine.
This proves that we as human beings and independent loving creatures, but we have basic need of attachment which is fulfilled by the people around us. Our family our friends.
But then why should a person be attach to his parents when he has spouse to get attached with. Now comes the morality of action. Our parents are our gods, who make us what we are today. They might not be great people, but for their children they do whatever they can.
But as we grow we fall into love with someone. But by definition this love is just an attachment, as is with your parents. The difference being the time and the amount of work which your parents did for you. But this young love seems to be very passionate. But actually this is nothing more than an attachment(which is a basic need).
But hen why should we choose the attachment of parents over the attachment of our young love. It is just because it is our moral duty. And because we can easily do it.
