Call it a temporary change or so, but I do believe the Eid feeling this year makes a difference. Today I heard a wise man told a story about the appreciation of life, the importance of having a strong family bond, the love between a parent and the child, the courtesy of being in your culture, and the life without love. I spent two hours listening to him, and by the end of the whole conversation, I realize the little things we often skip and take for granted are actually going to be the biggest deal in future.

The Life Without Love.

In life, there is a great deal of chasing the material importance that makes our daily needs complete. We chase the dollar bill in hope that by the end of every transaction earning us something more, it will make us a happier person. But beyond those material things, we do – in the end – need someone to share it with. The passion shared in young love is often looked down as juvenile by the wise. True, that love should wait, but always remember not to wait for too long.

When you’re in your 20’s and 30’s, it is only natural to seek to fulfil the needs and thrills of the young blood. Most people nowadays chase for career advancement in order to be financially stable by the age of 40. When you’re living the lavish life by the end of your 40’s, who would you want to share it with? In the end the answer would most probably be, to share with the one you love.

Why chase all the luxury if you don’t have anyone to share your happiness with?

When we grow old and wrinkly, I believe that the feeling of waking up in bed with your loved one by your side would be the most precious treasure. Wouldn’t you give to have someone to help you up when you fall? Putting you to sleep and kissing you good night every night? To share the loneliness when you need someone to talk to? To have someone you love? Or even, a companion by your side? J
