“എന്നും നിങ്ങളെന്‍റെ കൂടെയുണ്ടാവണം. എന്‍റെ കണ്ണടയുവോളും എനിക്കു നിങ്ങളെ കണ്ടുകൊണ്ടിരിക്കണം.”

ഇതൊന്നും ഞാന്‍ പറഞ്ഞതല്ല. എവിടൊക്കെയോ കേട്ടു മറന്ന ചിലതു.
ഞാനതിനെ ഒന്നൂടൊന്നു മനസ്സിരുത്തി വായിച്ചപ്പോള്‍ മറഞ്ഞിരുന്ന സ്വാര്‍ഥതയാണു കണ്ണില്പ്പെട്ടതു.

അതല്ലേ സത്യം?

എനിക്കു ജീവിക്കാന്‍ നിങ്ങളെ വേണം എന്ന അന്തര്‍ലീനമായ സത്യം. സ്വാര്‍ഥത നിറഞ്ഞ സത്യം.

“Oh God, please don’t take him away from me as long as I am alive”

Such a lovely prayer, no..? What do you think..?

Here, someone is emphasizing that he/she can’t live without his/her soul-mate.

Can you see love there?

“No worries once your life is over, but what about your soul-mate? Can he/she live without you? Who will take care of him/her? Your life was safe as he/she was with you until your last breath. Now what will happen to him/her in your absence? You are least bothered on that as you are already dead. Isn’t it..? That’s why you are praying like “Oh God, please don’t take him away from me as long as I am alive”

Unfortunately my eyes could not trace the least bits of love over there. Is it not all about selfishness?

Instead I found this much thoughtful “I will never get over the grief of losing you as you are my life breath. But moreover I love you and can never make you alone. So my Lord, please keep me alive atleast till his last breath so that my honey will never be alone”

    Love is essentially a selfish emotion. One loves because one wants something from… whatever or whomever. Love is about reciprocity: I give you, now you give me. Love says, “Why don’t you love me as much as I love you?” Love asks, “You say you love me, yet you do things you know are hurtful to me.” Love is a force of attraction for personal gain and mutual self-satisfaction.
    There is a much better approach to all of life, and that’s to be a compassionate being. Then the above prayers become meaningless, unnecessary. The compassionate being is there for the other and puts the self last. Also, the compassionate being has no soul mate, s/he has no need of one for compassion makes one complete in oneself through self-empowerment.
    My “two-bits” worth, Akhila… 🙂

      thanks for your ‘two-bits’ shatara.. yes, really you mentioned two things, one is on the selfish love and the other on the selfless compassion..but i feel some stage is there in between the two, cannt define it, but i can experience it..

        but then, ma’am, that is the bare truth of life…’my’ son/daughter/husband/wife/sister/brother/parents…here too, the ‘my’ casts a subtle shadow on the aspect of the associated ‘love’..

        ouch….and true, it hurts me too ma’am

    I have heard the first dialogue very commonly but yes Akhila the second statement is more thoughtful filled with innocent love (this i have noticed only once in an old malayalam movie of Oduvil Unnikrishnan) 🙂

    This is very emotional but i feel these emotions sometimes for my family though i am unmarried but this thought in wider perception comes to our mind for our close ones.

    I don’t know if love is there because love can’t be selfish and love don’t decide fate for us, whether we’ll leave together or me before you. It’s just like love is in letting go that person and keeping that strength to go beyond the last chapter of your life. I may sound Gibberish so, excuse 😀

    Deep inside, people in a relationship, especially those with kids, all think this way. It’s just too honest for anyone to say it.

    Behind a love, there is a fear of losing it(so deep), this turns as ‘selfishness’ or ‘possessiveness’. It’s a chain reaction. Appo sari… Keep Smiling Selflessly… 🙂

      fear of losing will be there.. even then don’t you find that last prayer more heart touching..

    Only unconditional, unselfish love has the power to wish something like that….I agree with you on each and every word you wrote!

    Great insight. I am thankful that God never answers prayers only because we ask. He would cease being God – He would be our genie. Blessings!
